Used dgraph for a large knowledge graph and didn't really feel like managing the cluster of servers. So made a switch to Arango Oasis.

But that's a very tempting offering from Manish Jain. Their graph database is awesome and now packaged as a managed service is making it a great option.

I'd say running and maintaining any distributed system is hard. Which is why cloud makes for an attractive offering for these services, because it lets the provider (Dgraph Labs in this case) ensure that the users are having a great product experience. They can focus on building and scaling their app, not worry about how to run the infrastructure.

How is Arangodb, been looking at using it myself?

It has been awesome! Really not much to criticize – mostly using it for graph data and queries via AQL.
