About ArangoDB Stack

Choosing a database often means picking one data model and hoping your application’s needs don’t outgrow it, ArangoDB avoids that bet by supporting three data models, key-value, documents, and graphs, on a single, unified backend. Intuz’s ArangoDB AMI deploys the free and open-source native multi-model database on Amazon EC2, ready to run from launch.

Because all three data models are queried through one language, AQL (ArangoDB Query Language), your team doesn’t need separate expertise for document queries versus graph traversals versus key-value lookups, one query language covers the application’s evolving data needs as it grows.

A web UI is included for monitoring and running queries directly, so day-to-day database administration doesn’t require working purely through a CLI or a separate client tool, and snapshot and update management scripts are bundled to keep the operational side maintained.

ArangoDB’s high-performance query language, with both SQL-like syntax and JavaScript extensions available, gives developers flexibility in how they interact with the database depending on their background and the complexity of the query they’re writing.

If your application is specifically and exclusively relationship-driven, social graphs, recommendation engines, fraud detection networks, the Neo4j AMI is purpose-built for graph data specifically and may outperform a multi-model database on pure graph traversal workloads, the deciding factor if graph queries are your dominant access pattern rather than one of several.
