I wonder if they improved Cluster setup with this release. If you tried without DC/OS, it was painful experience. Arangodb Starter was definitely a step in right direction.

ArangoDB starter is now bundled with the distribution and can start single server instances as well as cluster. It can use Docker or normal processes.

Have you had a look at the fault-tolerant Foxx demo?

https://www.arangodb.com/fault-tolerant-foxx/

Although it showcases fault-tolerance in Foxx specifically, it's really a demo of setting up a cluster with Arango Starter and we wouldn't have been to make Foxx so resilient in 3.2 without the hard work of the cluster team providing the stability underneath.

Congratulations to the ArangoDB team ! With ArangoDB you can create powerful applications using a multi models database and an API builder called Foxx. I'm building all my apps now within ArangoDB/Foxx no more needs of server apps.

Thank you! One thing the article actually forgets to mention is that 3.2.0 also is the official release for the new HTTP API for managing Foxx services: https://docs.arangodb.com/3.2/HTTP/Foxx/Management.html We're hoping to backport most of it to 3.1 and already support it in the latest release of the JavaScript driver. This should make automated deployments considerably easier. You can literally install, configure…

Semi-related to Foxx, is it now possible to add/remove coordinators dynamically to cluster? In other words, can we now scale out Foxx services easily if load increases?

Hi, it's Frank from ArangoDB. We have now included the starter in the package. It is now possible to start a cluster with a single command line. For example, to start a test cluster on a single machine, "arangodb --starter.local" is all you need to type. Starting on 3 machines requires a "arangodb" on the first machine and "arangodb --dataDir=./dbX --join serverX1" on the others.

Never mind. Just seen your reply and link on other comment. Looks very promising, cheers.

The new release looks packed full of features - especially excited about Keylines and encryption.

FYI, a minor copy edit suggestion: "HIPPA", should be "HIPAA".

It's trivial to add additional coordinators and removing coordinators no longer has a chance of affecting Foxx because the authority for the deployed services now lies with the database servers rather than the coordinators -- the coordinators are now fully disposable.

Be sure to check out this short demo of the Cluster Starter:

Thanks! Yeah, some features we wanted in 3.2 ended up taking longer to polish than anticipated so the rest of us were able to work on features that would have otherwise been scheduled for 3.3 I guess :)

I've forwarded your find to the marketing team.
