ArcadeDB is a Multi-Model DBMS created by Luca Garulli, the same founder of OrientDB, after SAP's acquisition. Written from scratch with a brand-new engine made of Alien Technology, ArcadeDB is able to crunch millions of records per second on common hardware with minimal resource usage. ArcadeDB reuses OrientDB's SQL engine (heavily modified) and some utility classes. It's written in LLJ: Low Level Java - still Java21+ but only using low level APIs to leverage advanced mechanical sympathy techniques and reduce Garbage Collector pressure. Highly optimized for extreme performance, it runs from a Raspberry Pi to multiple servers on the cloud.

ArcadeDB is fully transactional DBMS with support for ACID transactions, structured and unstructured data, native graph engine (no joins but links between records), full-text indexing, geospatial querying, and advanced security.

ArcadeDB supports the following models:

ArcadeDB understands multiple languages:

Getting started in 5 minutes

Start ArcadeDB Server with Docker:

docker run --rm -p 2480:2480 -p 2424:2424 \
           -e JAVA_OPTS="-Darcadedb.server.rootPassword=playwithdata -Darcadedb.server.defaultDatabases=Imported[root]{import:https://github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb-datasets/raw/main/orientdb/OpenBeer.gz}" \
           arcadedata/arcadedb:latest

Now open your browser on http://localhost:2480 and play with ArcadeDB Studio and the imported OpenBeer database to find your favorite beer.

ArcadeDB Studio

ArcadeDB is cloud-ready with Docker and Kubernetessupport.

You can also download the latest release, unpack it on your local hard drive and start the server with bin/server.sh or bin/server.bat for Windows.

Releases

There are four variants of (about monthly) releases:

The nightly builds of the repository head can be found here.

You can also build a custom distribution with only the modules you need using the Custom Package Builder:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb/releases/download/26.3.1/arcadedb-builder.sh |
bash -s -- --version=26.3.1 --modules=gremlin,studio

Available optional modules: console, gremlin, studio, redisw, mongodbw, postgresw, grpcw, graphql, metrics. The builder supports interactive mode, Docker image generation, and offline builds from local Maven repositories.

Java Versions

Starting from ArcadeDB 24.4.1 code is compatible with Java 21.

Java 21 packages are available on Maven central and docker images on Docker Hub.

We also support Java 17 on a separate branch java17 for those who cannot upgrade to Java 21 yet through GitHub packages.

To use Java 17 inside your project, add the repository to your pom.xml and reference dependencies as follows:

github github https://maven.pkg.github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb com.arcadedb arcadedb-engine 26.3.1-java17

Docker images are available on ghcr.io too:

docker pull ghcr.io/arcadedata/arcadedb:26.3.1-java17

Building and Testing

Build the entire project (skipping tests):

mvn clean install -DskipTests

Run the full test suite:

Some tests are tagged to indicate their cost:

To skip these and run only the fast tests:

mvn test -DexcludedGroups="slow,benchmark"

To run only a specific tag (e.g. benchmark tests in isolation):

mvn test -Dgroups="benchmark"
