Webinar tomorrow–Using RavenDB as a Queuing Infrastructure

June 8, 2020

I’m going to be talking tomorrow about using RavenDB as a Queuing Infrastructure. You can register to the webinar here. I’m excited about this webinar, because I get to show off multiple fun ways to utilize RavenDB in ways that I don’t think people realize it can be used. RavenDB is not a queue, but it has a bunch of features that we added…

RavenDB 5.0 entered code freeze status

June 5, 2020

RavenDB 5.0 has reached the code freeze point. That is both a great milestone in the road to the release and a huge frustration (we just complete a huge feature that won’t make it to 5.0). What this means is that we are now on track for a 5.0 release on the week of July 6th, 2020. Just under a month away from now. The new release has a host of new…

Byzantine and non-Byzantine distributed systems

Byzantine and non-Byzantine distributed systems

June 4, 2020

Updated 21.09.2025 Key Takeaways Distributed systems treat the network as inherently hostile and potentially malicious.

Tomorrow I’m going to be talking with Richard Norman about his usage of RavenDB. Richard has been using RavenDB for many years and has agreed to talk to us (and show his code!) about how he makes use of RavenDB. The most interesting thing about Richard’s usage of RavenDB is that he is making use of RavenDB features in ways that I never would…

Complex distributed transactions with RavenDB

Complex distributed transactions with RavenDB

May 27, 2020

An interesting question was raised in the mailing list, how do we handle non trivial transactions within a RavenDB cluster? The scenario in the question is money transfer between accounts, which is almost the default example for transactions. The catch here is that now we have a set of business rules to apply. Neither account may be blocked There…

Optimizing RavenDB by adding Thread.Sleep(5)

May 26, 2020

This post is here because we recently had to add this code to RavenDB: Yes, we added a sleep to RavenDB, and we did it to increase performance. The story started out with a reported performance regression. On a previous version of RavenDB, the user was able to insert 32,000 documents per second. Same code, same machine, new version of RavenDB,…
