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 and distribute a service with a single line of `curl` now.

Full disclosure: I'm one of the core developers working on ArangoDB Foxx.

Great news, I've been using ArangoDB for over a year and this upgrade is great, ArangoDB is shaping up to be a 'Giant Killer'.

The new automated deployment options for Foxx as well as the better memory management with RocksDB are highlights for me.

Congrats on shipping! I wonder if RocksDB could be the right choice for small to midscale IoT scenarios? Anyone has an opinion on that?

I think yes. The RocksDB engine is much better than the old engine in situations in which the stored data is larger than the available RAM. It all depends on the concrete queries issued but in general I would say: "Definitely yes!"

I find fox quite convenient too.
