New Case Study: Juniper Networks
Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) is one of the world’s largest networking companies, with over 10,000 employees operating in 50 countries, revenues of over $4 billion, and usage in all of the top 20 cloud providers. After running into challenges with Neo4j, Juniper Product Manager Director David Gee switched to ArangoDB to help automate network design for its customers.
Check out our latest case study to learn why ArangoDB is now David Gee’s “default go-to” for graph.

O’Reilly Live Online Training: Graph-Powered Machine Learning First Steps
In addition to the 30 sessions from ArangoDB Summit and the three courses in ArangoDB University, we released a ton of other content this year – almost too much to count!
Calling all data scientists, engineers, architects, and technical leaders! ArangoDB CTO Jörg Schad is delivering a live training later this month that will explore the symbiosis of graphs and machine learning. Upon completing the course, you’ll understand why graphs are such a powerful abstraction and discover how to leverage them in your machine-learning projects.

New: Private endpoint support for all major cloud providers
Private endpoints allow the connection from your application to your ArangoDB Cloud deployment to stay entirely within the cloud service provider’s network and remain unexposed to the public internet.
Last year we introduced support for private endpoints for Microsoft Azure. In June, we announced that private endpoints were GA for ArangoDB Cloud deployments running on AWS. Today, we are happy to share that we now support all three major cloud providers with the addition of private endpoints for Google Cloud Platform.
Please note: the private endpoint feature is only available for enterprise-tier ArangoDB ArangoGraph organizations. Contact your account executive to know more about this feature, or get in touch with us here.

Introducing the ArangoDB-PyG Adapter
Estimated reading time: 10 minutes
We are proud to announce the GA 1.0 release of the ArangoDB-PyG Adapter!
The ArangoDB-PyG Adapter exports Graphs from ArangoDB, the multi-model database for graph & beyond, into PyTorch Geometric (PyG), a PyTorch-based Graph Neural Network library, and vice-versa.
On July 29 2022, we introduced the first release of the PyTorch Geometric Adapter to the ArangoML community. We are proud to have PyG as the fourth member of our ArangoDB Adapter Family. You can expect the same developer-friendly adapter options and a helpful getting-started guide via Jupyter Notebook, and stay tuned for an upcoming Lunch & Learn session!
This blog post will serve as a walkthrough of the ArangoDB-PyG Adapter, via its official Jupyter Notebook.
(more…)What is a Graph Database?
Estimated reading time: 10 minutes
Introduction
Graphs occur everywhere in everyday life: your network of friends, the network of roads you drive on, and the supply chain of factories, ships, and roads that brought you the device you’re reading this on. While it might be easy to connect the dots on how most things can be shown as a graph, what makes a database a graph database? That is the question you will have the answer to in this blog post, but to put it simply: a graph consists of nodes, edges, and properties representing the relationships within data.
In this article, we will discuss:
- What is a graph?
- What is a graph database?
- Different types of graph databases.
- Graph database use cases.
