Description	A multi-model database supporting graphs, key-value pairs, and documents in a unified JSON-based data model, stored in a RocksDB-based engine. Since version 3.12 the server no longer runs graph algorithms itself (the Pregel system was removed); they run in separate Graph Analytics Engines on the Arango platform.	An embedded, single-file graph database with Datalog queries over entity-attribute-value facts and bi-temporal time travel via per-fact transaction and valid time. Written in Rust with WebAssembly and mobile builds, targeting AI-agent memory. Successor to the archived RecallGraph.
