Upcoming ArangoDB 3.7 and Storage Engines
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
TL;DR
ArangoDB has supported two storage engines for a while: RocksDB and MMFiles. While ArangoDB started out with just the MMFiles storage engine in its early days, RocksDB became the default storage engine in the 3.4 release.
