-ArangoDB supports two different storage engines as of ArangoDB 3.2. You can choose them while instantiating the container with the environment variable `ARANGO_STORAGE_ENGINE`. With `mmfiles` you choose the classic storage engine, `rocksdb` will choose the newly introduced storage engine based on [RocksDB](http://rocksdb.org/). The default choice is `mmfiles`.
