Running ArangoDB on Mac with Docker

Ingo Friepoertner — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 17:35:37 +0000

When I work with ArangoDB on my Mac, I usually install ArangoDB via homebrew and do tests on the latest new developments based on the devel-branch, compiling ArangoDB right from source.

Using Multiple Indexes per Collection in ArangoDB

Jan Steemann — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 13:48:10 +0000

The query optimizer in ArangoDB 2.8 has been improved in terms of how it can make use of indexes. In previous versions of ArangoDB, the query optimizer could use only one index per collection used in an AQL query. When using a logical OR in a FILTER condition, the optimizer did not use any index…

The current implementation in 2.7 and earlier versions of ArangoDB strictly adheres to the CommonJS module standard, which deviates from the behaviour implemented in Node and browser bundlers. Module paths will now be resolved in the following ways: relative…

Dockerizing a Bloom-Based Nonces Service in 10 Minutes

Frank Celler — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 12:40:43 +0000

In this article I want to explain how to setup a nonce-microservice using docker. Nonce are one-time tokens that are used to ensure that an action can only be taken once. In a project, we needed to ensure that a pay button is only pressed once. Note that nonces are not used to sign requests…

AQL Explain Web Interface: ArangoDB Query Optimization

Ingo Friepoertner — Tue, 19 May 2015 17:20:45 +0000

For developers that use the ArangoDB shell arangosh the explain() command and its compact output format is a great resource to check AQL queries.

Improved System User Authentication: ArangoDB Security Upgrade

Alan Plum — Mon, 18 May 2015 14:13:21 +0000

ArangoDB can easily be configured to require HTTP authentication for access to the web admin frontend or the REST API. But while Basic Auth works fine for APIs, the user experience in the web admin frontend was decidedly sub-par: browsers would often persist the authentication credentials indefinitely, logging out was made difficult or impossible and…
