1 Synchronous replication works on a per-shard basis. One configures for each collection, how many copies of each shard are kept in the cluster. Asynchronous replication is organized using primary and secondary DBservers.
2 Using a single instance of ArangoDB, multi-document / multi-collection queries are guaranteed to be fully ACID. In cluster mode, single-document operations are also fully ACID. Multi-document / multi-collection queries in a cluster are not ACID, which is equally the case with competing database systems. Note that for non-sharded collections in a cluster, the transactional properties of a single server apply (fully ACID).
3 Upcoming feature with the 3.2 release.
4 ArangoDB supports all basic security requirements. By using ArangoDB’s Foxx microservice framework users can achieve very high security standards fitting individual needs.
