Introduction to ArangoDB

 

ArangoDB is a multi-model database. Data can be stored as as documents, key/value pairs or graphs. One of the beauty of ArangoDB is, data can be accessed with a single declarative query language. 

 

Replication can be configured at database level or at server level. If you configure the replication at server level, all the databases hosted by this server are replicated automatically.

 

Is ArangoDB support ACID properties?

Yes

 

Is ArangoDB schemaless?

Yes, ArangoDB is schemaless by default. You no need to define what attributes a document can store. A collection in ArangoDB has multiple documents, where each document can follow same schema (or) can have different structure from other document.
