Big news this week – ArangoDB 2.8 is generally available for download. This is a huge step forward for our still young project, great improvements and new features await exploration. To name just some of the biggest ones…
- Graph Pattern Matching enables you to traverse a graph using plain AQL
- Arrax Indexes allow quick access to data stored in arrays, e.g. indexing tags in articles
- Automatic deadlock detection for transactions.
With 2.8 you will benefit from dozens of internal changes that improve performance and robustness of the database, e.g. more than 30 existing AQL functions have been backed with a C++ implementation.
More than that, we are delighted that we can share some new case studies of clients using ArangoDB in production. Flightstats Inc. (OR) – the leading provider of real-time global flight data and Liaison Technologies (GA), a global data management and integration company, shared how they use ArangoDB.
ArangoDB Releases
ArangoDB 2.8 is available via your favorite package manager, as official docker image and for download from our homepage. Additional, an ArangoDB 2.7.5 release is available too, which includes the backported automatic deadlock detection and some other improvements and fixes.
You can find a full list of changes in our change-log (2.8).
