Getting Started

Welcome to the ArangoDB Developer Hub. This website will get you started quickly with ArangoDB. This website is not intended to be a replacement for the official docs, but a quickstart to get you started with the basics of ArangoDB

The site takes a hands-on approach with tutorials, without having to wade through a lot of documentation or trial and error. The site is built for the developers (developers, administrators and operators) by folks with real world experience in the field. As we iterate over the content you will see upcoming community contributions as well as additions and revision of the content.

info

The site is currently being launched as a beta version to get the initial content out there, to get feedback and iterate quickly.

Suggestions, community contributions, fixes are welcome and highly appreciated
