orientdb
OrientDB is the most versatile DBMS supporting Graph, Document, Reactive, Full-Text and Geospatial models in one Multi-Model product. OrientDB can run distributed (Multi-Master), supports SQL, ACID Transactions, Full-Text indexing and Reactive Queries.

orientdb runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 12 minutes and hit 3 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
OrientDB server 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT compiles, launches on port 2480/2424, executes SQL queries via REST API, and core module passes all 2814 tests; server module has 12 integration test errors unrelated to code correctness (require live HTTP server)
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- No Java JDK in container - had to download Adoptium Temurin JDK 17 manually
- Server tests had 12 HTTP errors (HttpCommandTest, HttpDatabaseTest, etc.) because HTTP endpoints require a running server
- Missing config files (custom-sql-functions.json, default-distributed-db-config.json) caused server startup failure on first attempt
- Install time
- 12 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 52 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 3 hit, 3 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- curl -u root:root -X POST http://localhost:2480/command/OSystem/sql -d '{"command":"select 1 as result"}' returned {"result":[{"result":1}]} (HTTP 200); core tests: 2814 pass, 0 fail; server tests: 217 total, 0 failures, 12 errors, 6 skipped
- Model tokens used
- 224,097
- Exact commit tested
- 22eaaf9ee01e
- Container image
- sha256:cdd920bce783
What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Recovered from all 3 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
- Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.
What did not, or is not known
- Took 12 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 13 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
Of the 14 database projects Argusic has installed and timed, orientdb was the 14th fastest to reach a running state, and 13 of 14 reached one at all.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/orientdb)Questions
- Does orientdb run?
- Yes. orientdb runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 12 minutes, hitting 3 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test orientdb?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 22eaaf9ee01e. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test orientdb?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.20: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does orientdb take to install?
- 12 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does orientdb need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing orientdb?
- 3 things broke in the recorded run, and 3 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does orientdb compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 14 database projects Argusic has installed and timed, orientdb was the 14th fastest to reach a running state, and 13 of 14 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for orientdb?
- All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
