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.

All of our developers agree - RavenDB is one of those technologies that bring back fun into your coding even after long years of writing.
Herve Bansay, Founder, Beatman Ltd -
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.
Federico Lois, Founder, Corvalius -
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.
