I wonder what is really going on. If you check DBEngines you can see ArangoDB has been stagnant for years https://db-engines.com/en/ranking_trend/system/ArangoDB

I do not see at this level of popularity big clouds to start provide ArangoDB as a service to really compete with them

Is this an act of desperation to raise some additional funds, telling to investors they are protected from cloud competition ? Something else ?

100% agree. Nobody is really interested on having ArangoDB on the cloud as a service. I guess >99% of the users are not paying and the company is running out of money (sales guys cost a lot!). I think this is a suicide for the product. Clients will remain, also because the switch is expensive. Their proprietary AQL is not easy to convert into SQL, Cypher or Gremlin....
