Why should your database demand the same headache as that desk you bought from Ikea?
The best database requires no assembly, and there’s no need to get back to the store for additional parts just so you can get started. When you get RavenDB, it arrives whole: once you complete our short setup wizard, just telling us how you want to call the server and how to access it, you’re good to go.
RavenDB comes with its very own storage engine, full-text search engine, Map-Reduce indexing, Graphical User Interface (GUI), built-in security in transit and at rest, ETL Replication, Pull Replication, and even a memory management system for caching and garbage collection.
You don’t have to pay extra for the safety of your data or for any of the other features, or to add on parts like Elasticsearch or Hadoop. In a single transactional NoSQL database, you have an integrated solution that has everything you need and a single point of contact to answer any questions you have along the way.
The more a database relies on third party software the less its developers know about the code that goes into their own product. This usually tightens the harness around its performance and functionality.
The advantages in having everything you need in one place are huge:
Some databases offer limited functionality for their GUI, forcing you to install more layers. Not RavenDB. Our Management Studio lets you track a wide range of internal metrics on your database, and perform your functions at the click of a mouse.
You can literally forget about memory! With RavenDB it just works.
