Introducing the ArangoDB PyG Adapter

Introducing the ArangoDB-PyG Adapter

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

We are proud to announce the GA 1.0 release of the ArangoDB-PyG Adapter!

The ArangoDB-PyG Adapter exports Graphs from ArangoDB, the multi-model database for graph & beyond, into PyTorch Geometric (PyG), a PyTorch-based Graph Neural Network library, and vice-versa.

On July 29 2022, we introduced the first release of the PyTorch Geometric Adapter to the ArangoML community. We are proud to have PyG as the fourth member of our ArangoDB Adapter Family. You can expect the same developer-friendly adapter options and a helpful getting-started guide via Jupyter Notebook, and stay tuned for an upcoming Lunch & Learn session!

This blog post will serve as a walkthrough of the ArangoDB-PyG Adapter, via its official Jupyter Notebook.

What is a Graph Database?

Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

Introduction

Graphs occur everywhere in everyday life: your network of friends, the network of roads you drive on, and the supply chain of factories, ships, and roads that brought you the device you’re reading this on. While it might be easy to connect the dots on how most things can be shown as a graph, what makes a database a graph database? That is the question you will have the answer to in this blog post, but to put it simply: a graph consists of nodes, edges, and properties representing the relationships within data.

In this article, we will discuss:

  • What is a graph?
  • What is a graph database?
  • Different types of graph databases.
  • Graph database use cases.

Integrate ArangoDB with PyTorch Geometric to Build Recommendation Systems

Estimated reading time: 20 minutes

In this blog post, we will build a complete movie recommendation application using ArangoDB and PyTorch Geometric. We will tackle the challenge of building a movie recommendation application by transforming it into the task of link prediction. Our goal is to predict missing links between a user and the movies they have not watched yet.

ArangoSync: A Recipe for Reliability

Estimated reading time: 18 minutes

A detailed journey into deploying a DC2DC replicated environment

When we thought about all the things we wanted to share with our users there were obviously a lot of topics to choose from. Our Enterprise feature; ArangoSync was one of the topics that we have talked about frequently and we have also seen that our customers are keen to implement this in their environments. Mostly because of the secure requirements of having an ArangoDB cluster and all of its data located in multiple locations in case of a severe outage. 

This blog post will help you set up and run an ArangoDB DC2DC environment and will guide you through all the necessary steps. By following the steps described you’ll be sure to end up with a production grade deployment of two ArangoDB clusters communicating with each other with datacenter to datacenter replication.

ArangoML Series: Multi-Model Collaboration

Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

Multi-Model Machine Learning

This article looks at how a team collaborating on a real-world machine learning project benefits from using a multi-model database for capturing ML meta-data.

The specific points discussed in this article are how:

  • The graph data model is superior to relational for ML meta-data storage.
  • Storing ML experiment objects is natural with multi-model.
  • ArangoML promotes collaboration due to the flexibility of multi-model.
  • ArangoML provides ops logging and performance analysis.

ArangoML Series: Intro to NetworkX Adapter

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

This post is the fifth in a series of posts introducing the ArangoML features and tools. This post introduces the NetworkX adapter, which makes it easy to analyze your graphs stored in ArangoDB with NetworkX.

In this post we:

  • Briefly introduce NetworkX
  • Explore the IMDB user rating dataset
  • Showcase the ArangoDB integration of NetworkX
  • Explore the centrality measures of the data using NetworkX
  • Store the experiment with arangopipe

This notebook is just a slice of the full-sized notebook available in the ArangoDB NetworkX adapter repository. It is summarized here to better fit the blog post format and provide a quick introduction to using the NetworkX adapter.
