Benchmark Results – ArangoDB vs. Neo4j : ArangoDB up to 8x faster than Neo4j
Estimated reading time: 6 minutes
Introduction
This document presents the benchmark results comparing the ArangoDB’s Graph Analytics Engine (GAE) against Neo4j. The GAE is just one component of ArangoDB’s Data Science Suite.
This reproducible1 benchmark aims to provide a neutral and thorough comparison between the two databases, ensuring a fair and unbiased assessment.
We use the wiki-Talk dataset, a widely used, real-world graph dataset derived from the edit and discussion history of Wikipedia.

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes
Vector search is gaining traction as a go-to tool for handling large, unstructured datasets like text, images, and audio. It works by comparing vector embeddings, numerical representations generated by machine learning models, to find items with similar properties. With the integration of Facebook’s FAISS library, ArangoDB brings scalable, high-performance vector search directly into its core, accessible via AQL (ArangoDB Query Language). Vector Search is now just another, fully-integrated data type/model in ArangoDB’s multi-model approach. The Vector Search capability is currently in Developer Preview and will be in production release in Q1, 2025.
This guide will walk you through setting up vector search, combining it with graph traversal for advanced use cases, and using tools like LangChain to power natural language queries that integrate Vector Search and GraphRAG.

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes
Introduction
Graph databases continue to gain momentum, thanks to their knack for handling intricate relationships and context. Developers and tech leaders are seeing the potential of pairing them with the creative strength of large language models (LLMs). This combination is opening the door to more precise, context-aware answers to natural language prompts. That’s where RAG comes in—it pulls in useful information, whether from raw text (VectorRAG) or a structured knowledge graph (GraphRAG), and feeds it into the LLM. The result? Smarter, more relevant responses that are grounded in actual data.

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.

Integrate ArangoDB with PyTorch Geometric to Build Recommendation Systems
Estimated reading time: 20 minutes
In this blog post, we will build a complete movie recommendation application using ArangoDB and PyTorch Geometric. We will tackle the challenge of building a movie recommendation application by transforming it into the task of link prediction. Our goal is to predict missing links between a user and the movies they have not watched yet.

A detailed journey into deploying a DC2DC replicated environment
When we thought about all the things we wanted to share with our users there were obviously a lot of topics to choose from. Our Enterprise feature; ArangoSync was one of the topics that we have talked about frequently and we have also seen that our customers are keen to implement this in their environments. Mostly because of the secure requirements of having an ArangoDB cluster and all of its data located in multiple locations in case of a severe outage.
This blog post will help you set up and run an ArangoDB DC2DC environment and will guide you through all the necessary steps. By following the steps described you’ll be sure to end up with a production grade deployment of two ArangoDB clusters communicating with each other with datacenter to datacenter replication.
