## Project history and usage

ArcadeDB is a Java multi-model database packaged for CLI/server use, combining graph, document, key/value, search, time-series, vector, geospatial, and SQL-style access in one server distribution.

### Project history

The project was created by Luca Garulli, the founder of OrientDB, after SAP's acquisition of OrientDB. The official README describes ArcadeDB as a new engine written from scratch while reusing a heavily modified OrientDB SQL engine and some utility classes, which makes its lineage unusually explicit for database package nerds: it is not just another SQL wrapper, but a post-OrientDB attempt to keep multi-model database ideas moving in an open source package.

The public GitHub repository was created on 2021-08-16, and the first GitHub release listed through the official releases API is 21.9.1, published on 2021-09-21. The README now describes Java 21 packages as current and notes that Java 17 support is kept on a separate branch, reflecting the project's move with modern JVM baselines.

### Adoption history

ArcadeDB is distributed as downloadable releases, Maven artifacts, Docker images, and a Homebrew formula. Its README highlights Docker, Kubernetes, Maven Central, and custom distribution builds, while the Homebrew formula wraps the packaged server and console binaries as `arcadedb-server` and `arcadedb-console`.

GitHub metadata shows a modest but real open source footprint, with hundreds of stars and forks by 2026. For package-manager users, its presence in Homebrew and Scoop matters because it turns a JVM database server into a single-command local install for experiments, migrations, and embedded/server testing.

### How it is used

Typical local use is to start the server, open ArcadeDB Studio on port 2480, and interact through SQL, Cypher, Gremlin, GraphQL, MongoDB-compatible, Redis-compatible, PostgreSQL-wire, HTTP/JSON, or embedded APIs depending on the workload.

The packaged server reads logging configuration from `config/arcadedb-log.properties`; users and server credentials are represented in `config/server-users.jsonl`, with root password bootstrapping also supported through the `arcadedb.server.rootPassword` JVM property.

### Why package nerds care

ArcadeDB is interesting as a package because it bundles several database personalities into one server tarball, which is exactly the sort of tool that benefits from Homebrew-style wrapper scripts and well-known config directories.

Its release stream and custom package builder also make it a useful case study in packaging optional Java modules without forcing every local installation to carry every protocol and UI component.
