ArcadeDB is a multi-model database management system designed to handle several types of information within a single database engine. It combines document, graph and key-value storage with search, time-series and vector database capabilities.
Its document model allows applications to store flexible records without a fixed relational schema. The graph model adds explicit relationships between records, making it possible to navigate connected data without relying entirely on conventional joins.
These models can be combined within individual applications. For example, a system could store customer information as documents, represent relationships between customers and products as graph connections, and use vector search to retrieve similar records.
ArcadeDB supports several query languages and database protocols. Developers can select an interface suited to their applications instead of adopting one proprietary query language for every operation.
The database can operate as an embedded engine or as a server, and includes facilities for transactional workloads, indexing and distributed operation. It is a conceptual successor to OrientDB and is particularly useful when an application needs document storage alongside complex graph relationships.
This is free and open source software.
