ArangoDB and the Cloud-Native Ecosystem: Integration Insights
ArangoDB is joining CNCF to continue its focus on providing a scalable native multi-model database, supporting Graph, Document, and Key-Value data models in the Cloud Native ecosystem.
ArangoDB
ArangoDB is a scalable multi-model model database. What does that mean?
You might have already encountered different NoSQL databases specialized for different data models e.g., graph or document databases. However most real-life use-cases actually require a combination of different data models like Single View of Everything, Machine Learning or even Case Management projects to name but a few.
In such scenarios, single data model databases typically require merging data from different databases and often even reimplementing some database logic in the application layer as well as the effort to operate multiple database in a production environment.
Say Hi To ArangoDB ArangoGraph: A Fully-Managed Multi-Model Database Service
After two years of planning, preparation and a few lines of code, you can now enjoy an even more comfortable developers’ life with ArangoDB.
Today, we are happy to announce the launch of ArangoDB’s managed service ArangoGraph– a fully-managed graph database, document, and key-value store, as well as a full-text search engine – in one place.
Building Our Managed Service on Kubernetes: ArangoDB Insights
Running distributed databases on-prem or in the cloud is always a challenge. Over the past years, we have invested a lot to make cluster deployments as simple as possible, both on traditional (virtual) machines (using the ArangoDB Starter) as well as on modern orchestration systems such as Kubernetes (using Kube-ArangoDB).
However, as long as teams have to run databases themselves, the burden of deploying, securing, monitoring, maintaining & upgrading can only be reduced to a certain extent but not avoided.
For this reason, we built ArangoDB ArangoGraph.

ArangoDB Hot Backup: Creating Consistent Cluster-Wide Snapshots
Introduction
“Better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have.”
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka’s talents wouldn’t have been wasted as DBA. Well, reasonable people might disagree.
With this article, we are shouting out a new enterprise feature for ArangoDB: consistent online single server or cluster-wide “hot backups.”
ArangoML Pipeline: Simplifying Machine Learning Workflows
Over the past two years, many of our customers have productionized their machine learning pipelines. Most pipeline components create some kind of metadata which is important to learn from.
This metadata is often unstructured (e.g. Tensorflow’s training metadata is different from PyTorch), which fits nicely into the flexibility of JSON, but what creates the highest value for DataOps & Data Scientists is when connections between this metadata is brought into context using graph technology…. so, we had this idea… and made the result open-source.
We are excited to share ArangoML Pipeline with everybody today – A common and extensible metadata layer for ML pipelines which allows Data Scientists and DataOps to manage all information related to their ML pipelines in one place.
When Exceptions Collide: Managing Errors in ArangoDB
Managing Exception Collisions | ArangoDB BlogThis is a story of an excursion to the bottom of a deep rabbit hole, where I discovered a foot gun in `gcc`’s `libgcc`. The investigation has cost me several days and I hope that by writing this up I can entertain others and save them the journey.
TL;DR
If a C++ application is compiled with GCC on Linux and statically linked against a non-GLibC C-library (like `libmusl`), then there is a danger of a data race which leads to a busy loop happening after `main()` and all static destructors have finished. The race happens, if the application does not use `pthread_cancel` explicitly and if the very first exception which is thrown in the processes’ life is thrown in two different threads at the same time.
