🚀 Quick Start

Installation

uv add arcadedb-embedded   # or: pip install arcadedb-embedded

Requirements:

Python 3.10–3.14 (packaged/tested on CPython 3.12) - No Java installation required!
Supported Platforms: Prebuilt wheels for 4 platforms
- Linux: x86_64, ARM64
- macOS: Apple Silicon (ARM64)
- Windows: x86_64

5-Minute Example

import arcadedb_embedded as arcadedb

# Create database (context manager for automatic open and close)
with arcadedb.create_database("./mydb") as db:
    # Create schema (DDL)
    db.command("sql", "CREATE DOCUMENT TYPE Person")
    db.command("sql", "CREATE PROPERTY Person.name STRING")
    db.command("sql", "CREATE PROPERTY Person.age INTEGER")

    # Insert data (requires transaction)
    with db.transaction():
        db.command("sql", "INSERT INTO Person SET name = 'Alice', age = 30")

    # Query data
    result = db.query("sql", "SELECT FROM Person WHERE age > 25")
    for record in result:
        print(f"Name: {record.get('name')}")

✨ Features

☕ No Java Installation Required: Bundled JRE (~63MB uncompressed)
🌍 4 Platforms Supported: Linux (x86_64, ARM64), macOS (ARM64), Windows (x86_64)
🚀 Embedded Mode: Direct database access in Python process (no network); for client-server or multi-process deployments, use the official ArcadeDB server alongside
📦 Self-contained: All dependencies bundled (~62MB current Linux wheel)
🔄 Multi-model: Graph, Document, Key/Value, Vector, Time Series
🔍 Multiple query languages: SQL, OpenCypher
⚡ High performance: Direct JVM integration via JPype
🔒 ACID transactions: Full transaction support
🎯 Vector storage: Store and query vector embeddings with HNSW (JVector) indexing
📥 Data import: Built-in CSV and ArcadeDB JSONL import

📦 What's Inside

The arcadedb-embedded package is platform-specific and self-contained:

Package Contents (current Linux x86_64 dev build; varies by platform and version):

Wheel size (compressed): ~62MB
ArcadeDB JARs (uncompressed): ~24MB
Bundled JRE (uncompressed): ~63MB (platform-specific Java 25 runtime via jlink, 16 modules)
Installed package size: ~87MB

The compressed wheel size is measured from dist/*.whl, and the installed package size is measured from the extracted site-packages/arcadedb_embedded/ directory.

Note: The package is embedded-only — server/Studio and other unused JARs are excluded to optimize size (e.g., gRPC wire protocol). See scripts/jar_exclusions.txt for details.

Import: import arcadedb_embedded as arcadedb

🧪 Testing

Status: 370 passed

Tests run against the built wheel via the uv project at the repo root — no virtualenv activation needed, and uv run works from anywhere in the repo:

# Run all tests
uv run pytest

# Run specific test file
uv run pytest tests/test_core.py -v

See testing documentation for detailed test documentation.

🔧 Building from Source (Advanced)

Linux uses Docker. macOS and Windows use a native Java 25+ JDK with jlink.

cd bindings/python/

# Install uv (one-time)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Build for your current platform (auto-detected)
./scripts/build.sh

Built wheels will be in dist/. The build script also refreshes the uv dev environment at the repo root, so uv run pytest immediately tests the wheel you just built.

Build instructions

Developer Note: See build architecture docs for comprehensive documentation of the multi-platform build architecture, including how we achieve platform-specific JRE bundling across the supported platforms on GitHub Actions.

Development

Versions are automatically extracted from the main ArcadeDB pom.xml. See versioning strategy for details on development vs release mode handling.
