Schema free
Forget about tables, rows, mappings or complicated data-layers. RavenDB is a document-oriented database you can just dump all your objects into. Queries are amazingly fast and flexible.

As a Document DB it remains true to the core principles of these type of storage mechanisms. Somehow it manages to combine the best of relational databases with that of document databases.
Hadi Hariri, JetBrains -
RavenDB is a great piece of technology and had a very positive impact on our workflow. The dedicated and very professional support of the core team really makes a difference.
