ArangoDB Weekly #31 | Official Docker Repo & new Release 2.6.3

00GeneralTags:

ArangoDB is now an Official Repo in the Docker Hub, one of just four additions in the last 2 months. Please try and tell your friends! ArangoDB 2.6 is known as a performance release and we’ve continued to improve the core by killing locks and optimizing code. Looks like we can show some impressive performance boosts soon. Furthermore, Mike Williamson wrote a blog post on modeling data with ArangoDB last week, that is worth to read.

ArangoDB Weekly #30 | New performance results & O’Reilly article

00NewsletterTags:

Maybe you’ve noticed that there was no ArangoDB newsletter last week. So here’s the news of the last two weeks and the announcement that during the summer our NL will be biweekly. 🙂

In the meantime we’ve improved the performance of the shortest path implementation significantly and rerun the Multi-Model performance tests. The article Data modeling with multi-model databases – a use case for multi-model databases – was a huge success on O’Reilly Radar last week, it had the most page views of all Radar articles. It’s worth to read.

Finally, Mesosphere launched it’s SDK and developer program and we are proud to be one of the first partners that integrate into DCOS. Stay tuned, there will be more to come.

In April 2015, Thomas Pfeiffer, a user experience researcher and active open-source contributor, did an interview with one very active member of the ArangoDB community – J Patrick Davenport from Palatka, FL, USA. The aim was to get an idea about the open-source project ArangoDB as a whole and the development process so far – from the perspective of a developer. This interview first appeared in Thomas Pfeiffer sessellift blog on April 27th.

Thomas: Hi Patrick, to start off, could you tell me a little about yourself (your background, the job in which you’re using ArangoDB, …)?

Patrick: About me: I’m a Solutions Architect, working for my own company, DeusDat Solutions. I’ve been working over 8 years as a software Bob Villa (This Old House, American Reference). My clients call me in to renovate code bases that are near collapse. I’ve improved multiple Fortune 500 company’s core business applications. Recently I designed half to the Medicare Fraud Detection System for the US Government. That was based on Hadoop.
