Mark Milinkovich, Director of Product Marketing at Arango, opened the session, and Daniel Morris, Arango's Lead Solutions Architect based in the UK, walked the group through both the thinking behind graph-native context and a live demo of Contextus, an application he built to show what's possible on top of the Arango Contextual Data Platform. - [Building Trusted Business Context for Enterprise AI](https://arango.ai/blog/building-trusted-business-context-for-enterprise-ai/): Featuring New Research from Forrester The Forrester Wave™: Multimodel Data Platforms, Q2 2026 - [Contextus: The AI that finds what you didn’t know to look for](https://arango.ai/blog/contextus-the-ai-that-finds-what-you-didnt-know-to-look-for/): Your business data already contains the answers. The problem is that no search, dashboard, or AI tool was built to find them — because they're hidden in the connections between things, not in the things themselves. - [What Is the Best Architecture for Agentic AI?](https://arango.ai/blog/what-is-the-best-architecture-for-agentic-ai/): 6 Architectural Requirements for Production-Ready AI Systems - [Tracing Hidden Risk: How a Transitive-Risk Knowledge Graph Catches What Sanctions Screening Misses](https://arango.ai/blog/tracing-hidden-risk-how-a-transitive-risk-knowledge-graph-catches-what-sanctions-screening-misses/): This post summarizes Arthur Keen's technical deep-dive on the Sentries risk-intelligence system. Read the full article on Medium → - [Designing at Speed: Graph Intelligence for IC Hardware Design](https://arango.ai/blog/designing-at-speed-graph-intelligence-for-ic-hardware-design/): Standard vector RAG fails in IC design because silicon is a graph, not a list of documents. The Arango Contextual Data Platform fuses graph traversal, vector search, and document storage in a single engine — replacing fragmented stacks with one deterministic pipeline. The result: 92% fewer LLM tokens, 5x lower query latency, zero hallucinated module links, and automated spec-to-silicon traceability across multi-repo hardware datasets. - [The Billion-Token Problem and the Architecture Built to Solve It](https://arango.ai/blog/the-billion-token-problem-and-the-architecture-built-to-solve-it/): Multi-agent AI is consuming tokens at a pace that is breaking enterprise budgets.

Upload your code as a .tar.gz (the platform builds and secures the container for you) or point to your own Docker image. Either way, authentication, routing, and network isolation are handled automatically via the Arango Control Plane. Services can be scoped globally or to a single database, and deploy in minutes through the Container Manager UI. Watch out for two gotchas: ARM/amd64 build mismatches on M-series Macs, and optional dependencies that need to be flattened into your pyproject.toml before packaging. - [Metadata Helps You Understand Data. AI Needs a Contextual Data Layer.](https://arango.ai/blog/metadata-helps-you-understand-data-ai-needs-a-contextual-data-layer/): Metadata helps you understand and govern your data. But AI systems—especially agents and assistants—don’t fail because they lack understanding. They fail because they lack a stable way to make decisions on data at scale – consistently reasoning, deciding, and acting on the same business context. When context has to be rebuilt every time, systems drift. What AI needs is a contextual data layer where meaning, relationships, state are continuously maintained and directly usable. - [The 80% Problem in AI Agent Architecture: Context Must Be Persistent, Not a Pipeline](https://arango.ai/blog/the-80-problem-in-ai-agent-architecture-context-must-be-persistent-not-a-pipeline/): Why AI agent and chatbot programs turn into data plumbing—and the architectural choice that determines whether you ship solutions or infrastructure. - [What Is a Frankenstack—and Why It’s Breaking Enterprise AI](https://arango.ai/blog/what-is-a-frankenstack-and-why-its-breaking-enterprise-ai/): A Frankenstack is the result of a stitching together different systems without an overall architecture perspective.

It works by comparing vector embeddings, numerical representations generated by machine learning models, to find items with similar properties. With the integration of Facebook's FAISS library, ArangoDB brings scalable, high-performance vector search directly into its core, accessible via AQL (ArangoDB Query Language). Vector Search is now just another, fully-integrated data type/model in ArangoDB's multi-model approach. - [Some Perspectives on HybridRAG in an ArangoDB World](https://arango.ai/blog/some-perspectives-on-hybridrag-in-an-arangodb-world/): Graph databases continue to gain momentum, thanks to their knack for handling intricate relationships and context. Developers and tech leaders are seeing the potential of pairing them with the creative strength of large language models (LLMs). This combination is opening the door to more precise, context-aware answers to natural language prompts. That’s where RAG comes in—it pulls in useful information, whether from raw text (VectorRAG) or a structured knowledge graph (GraphRAG), and feeds it into the LLM. The result? Smarter, more relevant responses that are grounded in actual data. - [ArangoDB vs. Neo4J](https://arango.ai/blog/arangodb-vs-neo4j/): Update: Evolving ArangoDB's Licensing Model for a Sustainable Future - [ArangoDB 3.12 – Performance for all Your Data Models](https://arango.ai/blog/arangodb-3-12-performance-for-all-your-data-models/): Congrats to the team and community for the latest ArangoDB release 3.12!

This trend is true for both consumer hardware, e.g., Apple's M1 SoC and also server hardware, e.g. AWS's Gravitron processor. Given that the ARM architecture has a more relaxed memory model, this might have some subtle impact on C++ programs… - [ArangoML Series: Multi-Model Collaboration](https://arango.ai/blog/arangoml-series-multi-model-collaboration/): Multi-Model Machine Learning - [Fixing a Memory Leak in Go: Understanding time.After](https://arango.ai/blog/fixing-a-memory-leak-in-go-understanding-time-after/): Recently, we decided to investigate why our application ARANGOSYNC for synchronizing two ArangoDB clusters across data centers used up a lot of memory – around 2GB in certain cases. The environment contained ~1500 shards with 5000 GOroutines. Thanks to tools like pprof (to profile CPU and memory usage) it was very easy to identify the issue. The GO profiler showed us that memory was allocated in the function `time.After()` and it accumulated up to nearly 1GB. The memory was not released so it was clear that we had a memory leak. We will explain how memory leaks can occur using the `time.After()` function through three examples. - [Building HIPAA Compliant Applications With ArangoDB](https://arango.ai/blog/building-hipaa-compliant-applications-with-arangodb/): Protecting personal data is already quite high on (hopefully) all priority lists. Protecting personal healthcare information is even more important. If you are a company or organization in the health services industry and you work with personal patient data, then you have most probably heard about HIPAA compliance.

But these datasets change over time and you as a developer or data scientist may want to time travel and analyze these changes. - [NoSQL Performance Benchmark 2018 – MongoDB, PostgreSQL, OrientDB, Neo4j and ArangoDB](https://arango.ai/blog/nosql-performance-benchmark-2018-mongodb-postgresql-orientdb-neo4j-arangodb/): ArangoDB, as a native multi-model database, competes with many single-model storage technologies. When we started the ArangoDB project, one of the key design goals was and still is to at least be competitive with the leading single-model vendors on their home turf. Only then does a native multi-model database make sense. To prove that we are meeting our goals and are competitive, we run and publish occasionally an update to the benchmark series. This time we included MongoDB, PostgreSQL (tabular & JSONB), OrientDB and Neo4j. ## Pages - [Demo – Federal Team](https://arango.ai/demo-federal-government/): Discover how Arango helps U.S. Federal Government organizations connect data, improve information sharing, accelerate analysis, and support mission-critical decisions.
