Raven is an open source document database for the .NET platform built around a RESTful API. It runs as a windows service or on IIS7.
At Pro Teck, we recently researched and developed a NoSQL focused project using Mongo DB to manage and persist a large number (one-million-ish) of big PDF documents (10MB). Our proof-of-concept with Mongo DB did not pan out and the NoSQL document management project was canceled. However, I have been on the lookout for a document database that better meets our requirements.
I’m excited because, at first glance, Raven looks like a viable new player in the NoSQL space!
