When looking for a solution for your project, it is important to understand what makes each technology unique, what sets it apart. With ArangoDB that is its native multi-model approach including full graph database capabilities and I am going to explain the fundamental pieces of what that means. Read more

Building HIPAA Compliant Applications With ArangoDB

00GeneralTags:

ArangoDB HIPAA compliantProtecting personal data is already quite high on (hopefully) all priority lists. Protecting personal healthcare information is even more important. If you are a company or organization in the health services industry and you work with personal patient data, then you have most probably heard about HIPAA compliance. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a law passed in 1996 by US Congress that sets standards and protocols for the protection of patient data in the healthcare industry.

Early Bird Sign-up Open for ArangoDB Managed Service

00GeneralTags:

ArangoDB already had quite some nice announcements this year… so we thought we should stick with it.

Today, we are pleased to announce the managed service for ArangoDB, and with it, early sign-ups are open.

Many asked us for a service that would relieve you from hosting, managing and monitoring ArangoDB deployments. We already made deployment very easy with the ArangoDB Starter or the Kubernetes Operator but… you know, having not even to think about it is even better 🙂 Read more

Steps to reduce ArangoDB’s resource footprint

00GeneralTags:

This is an update of the 2016 blog post How to put ArangoDB to Spartan-Mode.

A lot of things have changed in the last years. We moved our API implementation from JavaScript to C++. ArangoDB now has a new (default) storage engine, namely RocksDB instead of MMFiles. RocksDB is a great storage engine. However, it also trades memory for speed. If you start with the default configuration you might end up with using much more memory for ArangoDB than expected.

Sort-Limit Optimization in AQL

00GeneralTags:

Sometimes we want sorted output from a query and, for whatever reason, cannot use an index to do the sorting. In ArangoDB, we already cover this critical case with finely tuned query execution code. Sometimes though, we do not need to return all output, and follow our SORT clause with a LIMIT. In ArangoDB 3.4 and earlier, we did not handle this case any differently from returning the full data, at least with respect to sorting – we would sort the full input, then apply the limit afterwards.

Building a Mini Database Cluster for Fun – LEGO Edition

Mini PC Database Cluster for Fun Lego

ArangoDB is a native multi-model database that could be deployed as a single database, in active failover mode or as a full blown database cluster in the cloud. To try things out I can even run a cluster on my local development machine.

Well, yes… but I wanted to be more real, 24×7, with the opportunity to manipulate all the things…

Inspired by other Raspberry PI & mini-cluster projects, I thought I could build my own, bare metal, desk compatible Mini PC database cluster.
