RavenDB Tutorial: Building an ASP.NET MVC App Using RavenDB as a Backing Store
One of those getting started guides that can be very helpful when first trying new technologies:
Today we are going to look at how we can use it as the only backing store of an ASP.NET MVC application. In this article, we will see how to build an ASP.NET MVC app using RavenDB Embedded and then publish it to a hosted source.
Using RavenDB as a backing store is actually very easy. In a development environment, all you have to do is install using Nuget package manager and start the Raven.Server.exe from the packages folder. However in a production environment, you may or may not be able to run an additional HTTP server for yourself. If you have a hosting provider where your site is shared with multiple other sites, you may not have the access to run a separate HTTP server. Beauty of RavenDB is that even in such a constrained environment, you can easily run RavenDB and not require SQL Server backend. RavenDB has special embedded variant that allows you to run RavenDB in medium trust.
