ArangoDB

ArangoDB is not your standard database if you've been working with MySQL all your life. There are serious differences between it and classic relational databases, ArangoDB being ideal for high-load and high-speed environments.

It's a data storage system based on NoSQL principles made famous by companies like Google, Facebook or Yahoo.

ArangoDB uses its own-made query language, similar to the classic SQL, but extensible via JavaScript. It's name is AQL and comes very well-documented for all developers making the change to it.

ArangoDB was previously known under the name: AvocadoDB.

Developers have also contributed to ArangoDB's adoption by providing database clients for the following programming languages:

C#

PHP

Ruby (1)

Ruby (2)

Python

JavaScript
