ArangoDB vs. CouchDB Benchmarking | ArangoDB 2012
A side-effect of measuring the impact of different journal sizes was that we generated some performance test results for CouchDB, too. They weren’t included in the previous post because it was about journal sizes in ArangoDB, but now we think it’s time to share them.
ArangoDB 2012: Exploring Additional Datafile Sizes
A while ago we wrote some blog article that explained how ArangoDB uses disk space. That article compared the disk usage of ArangoDB, CouchDB, and MongoDB for loading some particular datasets. In this post, we’ll show in more detail the disk usage of ArangoDB for insert, update, and delete operations. We’ll also compare it to…
ArangoDB for Node.js Integration | ArangoDB 2012
Note: Our new official nodejs driver is arangojs. You also can look at this blogpost about the new driver. We got a note from Anders Elo from Sweden. He told us that he has released a ArangoDB client for node.js. Awesome! 🙂 You can find it on Github under the URL https://github.com/kaerus/arango-client. To install locally…
Dynamic Script Execution Performance in ArangoDB | ArangoDB 2012
In the previous post we published some performance results for ArangoDB’s HTTP and networking layer in comparison to that of some popular web servers. We did that benchmark to assess the general performance (and overhead) of the network and HTTP layer in ArangoDB. Using ArangoDB as an application server While HTTP is a good and…
Comparing Space Usage: MongoDB, CouchDB, ArangoDB Infographic
As a follow-up of Jan’s blog post we have extracted some central figures and created this infographic for your reference.
ArangoDB Collection Disk Usage Analysis | ArangoDB 2012
In this post we’ll explain how ArangoDB stores collection data on disk and look at its storage space requirements, compared to other popular NoSQL databases such as CouchDB and MongoDB. How ArangoDB allocates disk space ArangoDB stores documents in collections. The collection data is persisted on disk so it does not get lost in case…
ArangoDB Networking HTTP Layer Benchmarking | ArangoDB 2012
…or: The Great Server Shootout ArangoDB is a database server that talks HTTP with its clients: clients send HTTP requests to ArangoDB over TCP/IP, ArangoDB will process them and send back the results to the client, packaged as HTTP over TCP/IP. ArangoDB’s communication layer is thus the foundation for almost all database operations, and it…
Useful Links for MRuby Development | ArangoDB 2012
I’ve started the following collection of links, example code, projects, and articles about mruby. This list is most likely not complete, if you have other interesting articles please let me know. Especially sample code and mruby projects. Article Daniel Bovensiepen, Five ways to execute mruby Matt Aimonette, Mruby and MobiRuby Matt Aimonetti, Getting Started With…
CRuby vs. MRuby: Understanding the Differences | ArangoDB 2012
At our last Ruby user group meeting it was asked, what the differences between CRuby and MRuby are. @junjis0203 wrote a MRuby FAQ. Unfortunately, it’s in Japanese. I’ve tried to translate it using http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/ & Google translate and added my own findings. Not all classes and method from CRuby are available in MRuby MRuby does…
Elegant NoSQL Database Querying Methods | ArangoDB 2012
