Kube-ArangoDB, ArangoDB’s Kubernetes Operator first released two years ago and as of today is operating many ArangoDB production clusters (including ArangoDB’s Managed Service Oasis). With many exciting features we felt kube-arango really deserves to be released as 1.0.
Public Preview of Microsoft Azure now available on ArangoDB Oasis
February 19, 202010GeneralTags: Cloud, Managed ServiceToday we are excited to invite everybody to take the first public preview of Azure on ArangoDB Oasis for a test ride.

We released ArangoDB version 3.6 in January this year, and now we are already 6 weeks into the development of its follow-up version, ArangoDB 3.7. We feel that this is a good point in time to share some of the new features of that upcoming release with you!
We try not to develop new features in a vacuum, but want to solve real-world problems for our end users. To get an idea of how useful the new features are, we would like to make alpha releases available to everyone as soon as possible. Our goal is get early user feedback during the development of ArangoDB, so we can validate our designs and implementations against the reality, and adjust them if it turns out to be necessary.
If you want to give some of the new features a test drive, you can download the 3.7 Alpha 1 from here – Community and Enterprise – for all supported platforms. Read more
Neo4j, Inc. is the well-known vendor of the Neo4j Graph Database, which solely supports the property graph model with graphs of previously limited size (single server, replicated).
In early 2020, Neo4j finally released its 4.0 version which promises “unlimited scalability” by the new feature Neo4j Fabric. While the marketing claim of “scalability” is true seen from a very simplistic perspective, developers and their teams should keep a few things in mind – most importantly: True horizontal scalability with graph data is not achieved by just allowing distributing data to different machines.

ArangoML Pipeline Cloud – Managed Machine Learning Metadata Service
January 30, 202000GeneralTags: arangoml, Machine LearningWe all know how crucial training data for data scientists is to build quality machine learning models. But when productionizing Machine Learning, Metadata is equally important.
Consider for example:
- Capture of Lineage Information (e.g., Which dataset influences which Model?)
- Capture of Audit Information (e.g, A given model was trained two months ago with the following training/validation performance)
- Reproducible Model Training
- Model Serving Policy (e.g., Which model should be deployed in production based on training statistics)
If you would like to see a live demo of ArangoML Pipeline Cloud, join our Head of Engineering and Machine Learning, Jörg Schad, on February 13, 2020 – 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 7pm CET for a live webinar.
Nothing performs faster than arangoimport and arangorestore for bulk loading or massive inserts into ArangoDB. However, if you need to do additional processing on each row inserted, this blog will help with that type of functionality.
If the data source is a streaming solution (such as Kafka, Spark, Flink, etc), where there is a need to transform data before inserting into ArangoDB, this solution will provide insight into that scenario as well. Read more
