![]() For ArangoDB, graph is one view, document and key-value are the others Getty Images/iStockphotoĪlthough ArangoDB has its own sui generis approach, we noticed that in the last year or so its messaging has shifted a bit from the multi-model aspect to emphasize graph. The key premise of multi-model databases is offering many views over the same data. ![]() JSON schema may not be the most powerful schema mechanism around, but for a database emphasizing JSON, it's a natural choice. ArangoDB 3.7 introduces JSON schema support, giving users the option to validate all new data written to the database, as well as analyze existing data validity. Not having a schema, however, is not always a plus. ArangoDB supports clients in Java, JavaScript, NodeJS, Go, Python, Elixir, R, and Rust. Custom integrations can be developed using a Python API. Schad went on to add that ArangoML has connectors for popular ML ecosystems like Tensorflow and PyTorch, and they are now working on Kubeflow integration. So it turned out to be a really easy model, to be both flexible and very efficient in terms of formulating this query and many others as well." "In the end, looking at which models have been impacted by which is being derived from just one data set, it's just a graph traversal. ![]() The advantage according to Schad is that this enables users to combine the flexibility of having no schema, leveraging the JSON document view of multi-model, with the structure of how things are connected as a graph: With a PhD in database systems, distributed data analytics, and large scale infrastructure container systems, Schad has been switching between databases.īut still: why ArangoDB? ArangoDB is not a traditional graph database - it is a multi-model database which also supports graph. Schad joined ArangoDB last year but has been working with ArangoDB for the past four years. Today ArangoDB is a US company with a German subsidiary, it has a new chief revenue officer, Matt Ekstrom, and a new head of engineering, Schad. That means that we found a way that we can combine the JSON document data model, the graph model, and the key-value model in one database core with one query language." "The main idea for ArangoDB, what is still valid today, is what we call the native multi-model approach. As Weinberger noted, he and his co-founder have been working together for 20 years, and the decision to pursue their vision was not a spur of the moment idea: The team made the headlines in 2019 with their $10 million in Series A funding led by Bow Capital. ArangoDB was founded in Cologne in 2014 by OnVista veterans Claudius Weinberger and Frank Celler.
