ArangoDB vs Memcached: What are the differences?
Developers describe ArangoDB as "A distributed open-source database with a flexible data model for documents, graphs, and key-values". A distributed free and open-source database with a flexible data model for documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance applications using a convenient SQL-like query language or JavaScript extensions. On the other hand, Memcached is detailed as "High-performance, distributed memory object caching system". Memcached is an in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data (strings, objects) from results of database calls, API calls, or page rendering.
ArangoDB and Memcached can be categorized as "Databases" tools.
"Grahps and documents in one DB" is the primary reason why developers consider ArangoDB over the competitors, whereas "Fast object cache" was stated as the key factor in picking Memcached.
ArangoDB and Memcached are both open source tools. Memcached with 8.99K GitHub stars and 2.6K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than ArangoDB with 8.22K GitHub stars and 576 GitHub forks.
Facebook, Instagram, and Dropbox are some of the popular companies that use Memcached, whereas ArangoDB is used by AresRPG, Stepsize, and Brainhub. Memcached has a broader approval, being mentioned in 755 company stacks & 267 developers stacks; compared to ArangoDB, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 15 developer stacks.
Hello All, I'm building an app that will enable users to create documents using ckeditor or TinyMCE editor. The data is then stored in a database and retrieved to display to the user, these docs can contain image data also. The number of pages generated for a single document can go up to 1000. Therefore by design, each page is stored in a separate JSON. I'm wondering which database is the right one to choose between ArangoDB and PostgreSQL. Your thoughts, advice please. Thanks, Kashyap
