ABOUT RAVENDB

The database
that works so well,
it’s boring.

Self-optimizing. Secure and private. And runs the same in the cloud, on the edge, or on-prem.

We’re proud to provide database infrastructure that you can rely on. Without thinking about it.

Developers spend up to 80% of their time maintaining what’s already been built.

But what if they didn’t have to?

That’s the question our founder and CEO, Oren Eini, wanted to answer.

Oren Eini

CEO and Co-founder

After years of consulting on database projects, Oren noticed that, at a certain point, the same issues always appeared: performance would start dropping, schemas would break, and instead of developers building new features and applications — they were in panic mode, doing everything they could to make sure the company’s current builds wouldn’t fall apart.

So Oren decided to fix the root cause. Because, after all, a database should work for you. Not the other way around.

And in 2010, RavenDB 1.0 shipped as the first document database on the .NET platform with full ACID transaction guarantees.

Paweł Pekról

CTO and Co-founder

In the meantime, Paweł Pekról was building web applications for the U.S. government sector when he realized the same thing: too much engineering time was disappearing into the database.

When he first met Oren, the frustration was mutual — and so was their belief that it could be done better.

Paweł then joined RavenDB, and today, serves alongside Oren as CTO. Together, they’ve spent 15 years turning their shared frustration into a product used by tens of thousands of customers worldwide.

Why we’re proud to be
the boring database

The end users of your applications don’t care what they run on.
They just want their apps to run.

We believe the same should be true for developers:
your database should be stable, and predictable, all the time.
You shouldn’t have to worry about it.
In fact, you shouldn’t have to think about it at all.

So that’s what we built.
The world’s most boring database.
It optimizes itself, so you don’t have to micromanage it.
You can simply focus on building.

And it gets even more boring with every update.
Isn’t that exciting?
