Mad respect for these guys/gals, they managed to squeeze two game changing features in a single release: VPack and Clustering 2.0.

Not to blow my own trumpet but I think the new Foxx API (for letting you write your own HTTP endpoints in JS) is a huge step forward, too ;) (I'm the lead developer of the new ArangoDB Foxx, AMA)

Foxx microservices are the best. I love them

Is there a reliable python module for working with ArangoDB 3.0?

We use joowani/python-arango, but I haven't test it with 3.0 yet.

My dream is to see one of these graph databases use NetworkX for the python API and the database for the back end / storage.

Awesome, I JUST started using ArangoDB for my latest project. So far so good, and these changes look solid. Only thing I wish they had(unless I'm missing something), is a GridFS type storage.

Pure curiosity, why do you miss GridFS? I think ArangoDB it already does that, back in time there was journal size setting, I'm not sure if it still has.

I need a simple way to store a lot of photos, GridFS interface is simple, and I don't have to worry about screwing around with filesystems / folder structures. Mongo takes cares of all the sharding and what not. One man operation here!

That's a pretty cool idea.. Up until know I have used JSON whenever I wanted to use NetworkX. It shouldn't be too complex to connect them.

Does ArangoDB support streaming queries like RethinkDB?

We are evaluating various possibilities, how to implement streaming queries in an efficient and scalable way. For instance, are restrictions to the general AQL necessary for such queries to be able to scale? Stay tuned.

Do you have an example app written with some benchmarks?

It says that we can utilize npm, so, how is the compatibility with node? Native (C++) modules?

Is it used already in production somewhere?

(I am asking a lot of questions because I'm very interested, not anything else)

Hi this is Jan2 from ArangoDB... my team mate Jan1 wrote a blogpost: You can already handle binary data with ArangoDB Foxx framework... here is how http://jsteemann.github.io/blog/2016/06/22/handling-binary-d...
