ArangoDB is a multi-purpose, open-source database with flexible data models for documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance applications using a convenient SQL-like query language or JavaScript/Ruby extensions. Use ACID transaction if you require them. Scale horizontally and vertically with a few mouse clicks.
|
|
|
|
Key features include:
|
|
|
|
* **Schema-free schemata** let you combine the space efficiency of MySQL with the performance power of NoSQL
|
|
* Use ArangoDB as an **application server** and fuse your application and database together for maximal throughput
|
|
* JavaScript for all: **no language zoo**, you can use one language from your browser to your back-end
|
|
* ArangoDB is **multi-threaded** - exploit the power of all your cores
|
|
* **Flexible data modelling**: model your data as combination of key-value pairs, documents or graphs - perfect for social relations
|
|
* Free **index choice**: use the correct index for your problem, be it a skip list or a fulltext search
|
|
* Configurable **durability**: let the application decide if it needs more durability or more performance
|
|
* No-nonsense storage: ArangoDB uses all of the power of **modern storage hardware**, like SSD and large caches
|
|
* **Powerful query language** (AQL) to retrieve data
|
|
* **Transactions**: run queries on multiple documents or collections with optional transactional consistency and isolation
|
|
* **Replication** and **Sharding**: set up the database in a master-slave configuration or spread bigger datasets across multiple servers
|
|
* It is **open source** (Apache Licence 2.0)
|

For the Impatient
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
For Mac OSX users: execute
|
|
|
|
brew install arangodb
|
|
|
|
For Windows and Linux users: use the installer script or distribution package
|
|
from our [download page](http://www.arangodb.org/download).
|
|
|
|
If the package manager has not already started the ArangoDB server, use
|
|
|
|
unix> /path/to/sbin/arangod
|
|
2012-03-30T12:54:19Z [11794] INFO ArangoDB (version 2.x.y) is ready for business

|
`/path/to/sbin` is OS dependent. It will normally by either `/usr/sbin` or `/user/local/sbin`. Point your browser to
|
|
|
|
http://localhost:8529/
|
|
|
|
and select `Tools / JS Shell`. You can now use the Arango shell from within your browser. Alternative, it is available as command-line tool _arangosh_.
|
|
|
|
arangosh> db._create("hello");
|
|
arangosh> db.hello.save({ world: "earth" });
|
|
|
|
Congratulations! You have created your first collection called `hello` and your first document. To verify your achievements, type:
|
|
|
|
arangosh> db.hello.toArray();
|
