Disclaimer: I'm part of the ArangoDB team. As written in the post the whole benchmark is open source, and you are welcome to add other DBs. That is appreciated. It is just important that there is an official node.js driver and a GA version will be used.


Would be nice to domain/product experts to some tweaking and host this at a third party a la "The benchmark game"[1]. A nice little graph-oriented benchmark would be great, especially avoiding things like:

[ed: and:

"For comparison, we used three leading single-model database systems:... and PostgreSQL for relational database."

Jsonb with indexes doesn't rate as "document db", how about postgis for domain specific graph db?]

Some agreement on hw (virtual or otherwise), dataset and queries might make this actually rather useful.
