For the last 40 years or so, we used relational databases successfully in nearly all business contexts and systems of nearly all sizes. Therefore, if you feel no pain using a RDBMS, you can stay with it. But, if you always have to work around your RDBMS to get your job done, a document oriented database might be worth a look. RavenDB is a 2nd generation document database that allows you to write a data-access layer with much more freedom and many less constraints. If you have to work with large volumes of data, thousands of queries per second, unstructured/semi-structured data or event sourcing, you will find RavenDB particulary rewarding. In this talk we will explore some document database usage scenarios. I will share some data modeling techniques and many architectural criteria to help you to decide where safely adopt RavenDB as a right choice.
