Case Study: Blue Oceans Group achieves streamlined microservices development and simplified operations with ArangoDB (Foxx)

Microservices with ArangoDB's JavaScript Framework - Foxx

Blue Oceans Group is a product-focused company that builds lean MVPs and rapidly iterates using data. Faced with a landscape of many small HTTP microservices—some stateful, some stateless—they needed a flexible, easy-to-operate database with an HTTP interface to avoid running multiple DB systems and duplicating data-access code. They selected ArangoDB and its Foxx JavaScript framework to meet these needs.

Using ArangoDB Foxx services, Blue Oceans Group implements full microservices in JavaScript that expose REST APIs, allowing stateful and stateless services to be developed and deployed with the same speed and ease. ArangoDB’s Foxx-based approach enforces service-level data encapsulation, reduces operational overhead by consolidating on a single database type, and streamlines testing and deployment (Docker/Foxx-installer workflows), enabling faster iteration and simpler operations across their tens-of-service product architectures.
