About ArangoDB

ArangoDB is a multi-model database that supports three data models: key/value, document, and graph, using a unified query language called AQL (Arango Query Language). This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for projects that require relational data, document storage, or graph processing, without the need for separate databases.

Some features of ArangoDB include: * Native multi-model support for graph, document, and key/value data. * AQL (Arango Query Language) for powerful and flexible querying. * Horizontal scaling and clustering capabilities. * Built-in support for ACID transactions. * Easy integration with programming languages, including Java.

Running ArangoDB

To execute an instance of ArangoDB locally using Docker, you can use the following command:

docker run -e ARANGO_NO_AUTH=1 -d --name arangodb-instance -p 8529:8529 -d arangodb/arangodb

Running the application in dev mode

You can run your application in dev mode that enables live coding using:

./mvnw compile quarkus:dev

Note	Quarkus now ships with a Dev UI, which is available in dev mode only at http://localhost:8080/q/dev/.

Packaging and running the application

The application can be packaged using:

./mvnw package

It produces the quarkus-run.jar file in the target/quarkus-app/ directory. Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the target/quarkus-app/lib/ directory.

The application is now runnable using:

java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar

If you want to build an über-jar, execute the following command:

./mvnw package -Dquarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar

The application, packaged as an über-jar, is now runnable using:

java -jar target/*-runner.jar

Creating a native executable

You can create a native executable using:

./mvnw package -Dnative

Or, if you don’t have GraalVM installed, you can run the native executable build in a container using:

./mvnw package -Dnative -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

You can then execute your native executable with:

./target/arangodb-sample-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner

If you want to learn more about building native executables, please consult https://quarkus.io/guides/maven-tooling.
