This looks really interesting. Is there a NodeJS ORM comparable to Mongoose for using Arango?

You can use the Foxx framework to create a REST api that suits your needs. There is also a community project for an ORM, see https://github.com/arangodb/arangojs/issues/215

However, in general it is more flexible and safer to use Foxx, because it allows you to fine tune complexes queries and supports transactions.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thank you for the answer. I'm currently dealing with an inflow of about one million documents a day; it's an ever growing collection (grows by a few TB each year). Should I just configure it with 1000 shards? Or would it perform bettet with fewer shards?

yes, using 1000 shards would work. Eventually, we will also support splitting shards.

Thank you, that was the answer I was hoping for.
