Did you know?
We have lots of fun @ ArangoDB. Not a day goes by without some silly geekery. This week we celebrated The Towel day which “shocked” a few people on the street. #DontPanicButRather use ArangoDB!
Oh and also, we’ve hosted two great events in our HQ in Cologne: Kubernetes User Group and Cloud and AWS Meetup where Frank also did a talk on Mesosphere’s DC/OS and ArangoDB.
