ArangoDB is a native multi-model database server written in C++ that unifies graph, document (JSON), key-value, full-text, and vector search in a single engine queried via its SQL-like AQL language. It supports horizontal scaling, replication, high availability, and can be run on-prem, in Docker, in Kubernetes, or as a managed cloud service.

Use cases

  • store and query json documents with a flexible schema
  • model and traverse connected data as a graph
  • run full-text search and ranking over documents
  • store and search vector embeddings for ai applications
  • build a multi-model backend without gluing several databases together
  • shard and replicate data across a cluster for high availability
  • query data with a sql-like language (aql) or javascript extensions

When to choose

  • your workload mixes documents, graphs, key-value, and search in one system
  • you need deep multi-level relationship traversals with good performance
  • you want one query language (AQL) across multiple data models
  • you need horizontal scalability, sharding, and automatic failover
  • you want vector and full-text search built into the database for AI/RAG workloads

When to avoid

  • you need strict relational guarantees and complex SQL joins across normalized tables
  • you only need a simple key-value cache like Redis
  • you depend on a very large ecosystem of third-party tools built around PostgreSQL or MongoDB
  • you require a fully permissive open-source license for commercial embedding (Enterprise features are commercial; license is not standard OSI)
