Deploy Your Code, Your Way — Introducing Arango BYOC • Arango

Arango's BYOC (Bring Your Own Code/Container) feature enables running custom services — APIs, ML models, data processors — directly inside the Arango Contextual Data Platform alongside your data. Two deployment paths are available: upload code as a .tar.gz (platform builds the container) or provide a Docker image URL. The ServiceMaker CLI tool (built in Rust) automates code packaging using uv and Cargo. Services must expose HTTP on port 8000 at the root path, and can be scoped globally or to a specific database. Key gotchas include ARM/amd64 architecture mismatches on M-series Macs and optional dependency groups not being packaged by ServiceMaker.
