All of our developers agree - RavenDB is one of those technologies that bring back fun into your coding even after long years of writing.

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.

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.
