Features and Capabilities
ArangoDB is a NoSQL graph database for online transactional processing (OLTP) as well as analytical workloads, with a rich ecosystem of projects, integrations, and drivers
Editions
ArangoDB is freely available in a Community Edition under the Apache 2.0 open-source license. It is a fully-featured version without time or size restrictions and includes cluster support.
ArangoDB is also available in a commercial version, called the Enterprise Edition. It includes additional features for performance and security, such as for scaling graphs and managing your data safely.

On-Premise versus Cloud
You can install ArangoDB on your local machine or run it in a Docker container for development purposes. You can deploy it on-premise as a single server, optionally as a resilient pair with asynchronous replication and automatic failover (Active Failover), or as a cluster comprised of multiple nodes with synchronous replication and automatic failover for high availability and resilience. For the highest level of data safety, you can additionally set up off-site replication for your entire cluster (Datacenter-to-Datacenter Replication).
If you do not want to operate your own ArangoDB instances on-premise, then you may use our fully managed multi-cloud service ArangoDB Oasis. It runs the Enterprise Edition of ArangoDB, lets you deploy clusters with a few clicks, and is operated by a dedicated team of ArangoDB engineers day and night.
