RavenDB is the industry’s first fully-transactional, NoSQL ACID database that combines scalability, high-availability, speed and performance.
RavenDB is easy to install, simple to secure, and quick to learn. The query language is 85% SQL.
RavenDB is trusted and employed by a global client base including Fortune 500 companies spanning several continents.
Features include:
- High performance – 150,000 writes per second, one million reads on commodity hardware. Explicitly designed with multi-tenancy (or multi-instances) in mind.
- Management studio.
- Non-relational database to achieve ACID across the entire database.
- Multi-model architecture – works with relational databases. Add a NoSQL layer to your existing architecture.
- High availability.
