High‑performance ACID‑compliant document database with developer‑first experience
RavenDB delivers ACID guarantees, full‑text search, and a rich web UI across Linux, Windows, macOS, containers and Raspberry Pi, with free developer licensing and cloud‑hosted options.
RavenDB is a modern document‑oriented database that guarantees full ACID transactions and security out of the box. It combines high performance with a developer‑first experience, offering a web‑based Management Studio for live queries, indexing, and monitoring. The engine includes built‑in full‑text, spatial, time‑series and vector search, making it suitable for a wide range of data‑intensive applications.
The database runs natively on Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker containers and even ARM devices such as Raspberry Pi. Installation is as simple as running a script, using a .deb package, or pulling the official Docker image. RavenDB Cloud provides a managed SaaS option with a free developer tier, while on‑premise deployments benefit from the same feature set. Official client libraries cover .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, C++ and Ruby, and a community‑driven Elixir driver is also available.
When teams consider RavenDB, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
