AQL Query Performance Optimization 101 (Part II)
Last month, we shared part one of this two-part series about how to optimize your AQL queries. Check out part two, where ArangoDB Senior Developer Jan Steemann covers some factors that contribute to cluster AQL query performance, namely sharding and replication factor.
He also explains some features of the Enterprise Edition for co-locating data in a way that minimizes cluster-internal roundtrips and improves performance.
