2. RavenDB in a nutshell • Written in C#, open source • Schema free • Safe by default • Transactional • High performance • Free for open source (but not for commercial use)
3. Some important buzzwords • JSON: JavaScript Object Notation • POCO: Plain Old CLR Object • Document: a POCO, serialized to JSON • Lucene: Text search engine • Indexes: Static and Dynamic
4. Installation • NuGet Package
5. Document design • Rows are flat, documents are not! • Based on the Aggregate Root pattern A cluster of associated objects that are treated as a unit for the purpose of data changes.
6. Document design { "Status": "Not done", "Story": "As a user of ScrumR, I want to see all BacklogItems", "StoryPoints": 4, "Summary": null, "Tasks": [ { "Description": null, "EstimatedHours": 2, "Name": "Create asp.net mvc listview", "Owner": "Stijn Volders" }, { "Description": null, "EstimatedHours": 1, "Name": "Create BacklogItemController with listview support", "Owner": "Stijn Volders" } ], "SprintId": null, "Owner": "Stijn Volders", "BusinessValue": "XL" }
