ArangoDB 3.0: A Solid Foundation for Scalability
After 6 months of development we are happy and excited to announce the fully production ready ArangoDB 3.0 today! Get ArangoDB 3.0 now!
We designed ArangoDB as a native multi-model DB from the first line of code.

Discover ArangoDB 3.0: New Cluster Features
The 3.0 release of ArangoDB will introduce a completely overhauled cluster and marks a major milestone on its road to “zero-maintenance” where you can keep focus on your product instead of your datacenter.
Synchronous replication
Earlier releases of ArangoDB already featured asynchronous replication. This was already a great method to do backups and allowed for failover in case of a disaster. However that was mostly a manual job and furthermore – due to its asynchronous nature – data loss could happen. Read more
ArangoDB 3.0 Alpha Release: Getting Closer to the Future
There is this German saying “If it takes long enough, it will be all right in the end.” However, since just “all right” isn’t our quality standard this first alpha of 3.0 took us a bit longer to finish up than planned. We´d like to invite you to give this fully tested alpha a serious spin, test the new functionalities and share your thoughts and feedback with us on Slack in our “feedback30” channel
Within this short release note you´ll find 1) a quick overview of the most important changes; 2) an instruction on how to get the new version and 3) how to get your (test) data from your 2.x version into the 3.0 alpha which has our new binary storage format VelocyPack implemented. Read more

Index Free Adjacency or Hybrid Indexes for Graph Databases
Some graph database vendors propagandize index-free adjacency for the implementation of graph models. There has been some discussion on Wikipedia about what makes a database a graph database. These vendors tried to push the definition of index-free adjacency as foundation of graph databases, but were stopped by the community.

Big thanks to Conrad from L.A. for his time and for giving us the impulse for this little how-to!
