Bulk Insert Benchmark Tool | ArangoDB 2012
To easily conduct bulk insert benchmarks with different NoSQL databases, we wrapped a small benchmark tool in PHP. The tool can be used to measure the time it takes to bulk upload data into MongoDB, CouchDB, and ArangoDB using the databases’ bulk documents APIs.
ArangoDB 2012: Additional Results for Mixed Workload
In a comment to the last post, there was a request to conduct some benchmarks with a mixed workload that does not test insert/delete/update/get operations in isolation but when they work together. To do this, I put together a quick benchmark that inserts 10,000 documents, and after each insert either The three cases are alternated…
Data Modeling in a Schema-Free Environment | ArangoDB 2012
We just came back from FroSCon, a large, international open source conference near Bonn, Germany. Jan Steemann, one of the core developers of ArangoDB, had a talk on modelling data in a schema-free world. Jan was given the largest room in the conference for this talk, fortunately a lot of people showed up and even…
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…
