Simplify your first steps with the RavenDB NoSQL Document Database. This book takes a task-oriented approach by showing common problems, potential solutions, brief explanations of how those solutions work, and the mechanisms used. Based on real-world examples, the recipes in this book will show you how to solve common problems with Raven Query Language and will highlight reasons why RavenDB is a great choice for fast prototyping solutions that can sustain increasing amounts of data as your application grows.

Introducing RavenDB includes code and query examples that address real-life challenges you’ll encounter when using RavenDB, helping you learn the basics of the Raven Query Language more quickly and efficiently. In many cases, you’ll be able to copy and paste the examples into your own code, making only minor modifications to suit your application. RavenDB supports many advanced features, such full-text search, graph queries, and timeseries; recipes in the latter portion of the book will help you understand those advanced features and how they might be applied to your own code and applications.

RavenDB is a database created with this goal – to empower you to produce outstanding results without needing to become an expert in databases. Expert knowledge is embedded, so the database will assist you, advise you, and safeguard you as you develop your application. I encountered RavenDB a decade ago and fell in love with it over the years. I discovered that RavenDB is suitable for small projects, fast prototyping, and scaling to enterprise-grade Domain-Driven Design projects.

This book is a gentle introduction to NoSQL concepts. Starting from zero, you will learn the basics of RavenDB, the NoSQL document database, its query language, and the indexing engine. You will also discover how RavenDB reacts to your operational behavior, protecting and guiding you. After completing this book, you will be capable of installing RavenDB and using it for efficiently storing and querying data. To follow the content of this book, you do not need anything but modern web browsers and elementary knowledge of jаvascript. You will grasp NoSQL principles (like map/reduce) and comprehend RavenDB mechanisms. After you finish it, you can easily apply this knowledge to building applications in any modern programming language.

After reading this book, you will be able to employ RavenDB’s powerful features in your own projects.

What You Will Learn:

Set up and start working with RavenDB
Model your objects for persistence in a NoSQL document database
Write basic and advanced queries in the Raven Query Language
Index your data using map/reduce techniques
Implement techniques leading to highly performant systems
Efficiently aggregate data and query on those aggregations

Who This Book Is For:
Developers accustomed to relational databases who are about to enter a world of NoSQL databases. The book is also for experienced programmers who have used other non-relational databases and want to learn RavenDB. It will also prove useful for developers who want to move away from using Object-Relational Modeling frameworks and start working with a persistence solution that can store object graphs directly.
