WebinarRavenDB’s unique features
time to read 1 min | 100 words
On Tuesday, January 21, 2020 10:30 AM Eastern Time, I’ll be doing a webinar show casing some of the unique features of RavenDB.
We talk a lot about new features and exciting stuff that we work on, but RavenDB has been around for a decade and some of the most impressive stuff that we have are still features that I built around 2009.
I’m going to give a guided tour into some of the features that don’t share much of the limelight but can be real work horses in your application.
You can register to the webinar here.

I really like RavenDb, but it has no breakout success so far. Would be very interested in your view on that problem.
Christian,
There are a few ways to get bigger. A relatively simple way is to spend a lot of money getting market share. An example of that is hiring people to go and talk about a product at community events / conferences. Given enough investment (and not too much), you get a lot of ears and can users. MongoDB, for example, did just that for a long time. The key issue is that it takes upfront investment of money and require that your marketing will write checks that you can cover. Going to MongoDB again, I think that they have had a lot better marketing in the early days than the technical capabilities to cover that.
From my perspective, I would much rather work on the quality of the product and its environment. A lot of that relates to how the company is structured, we aren't funded by VCs and need to make 10x return of investment just to be borderline acceptable. We are a profitable company and are growing nicely year over year. That means that I can take the time and do things right. It also means that I have a lot less worries, both in technical and business terms.
Hi, thanks for the fast reply! I was forced to work with Mongo a lot the fast few months and lets say I was not that impressed, too. This was actually the reason I asked, because I like RavenDB way more but because nobody knows it, pushing for it adoption is difficult, especially in my Java centric shop. I understand your reasonong and respect hat, if it works for you :) Thats the most important tin the long run.
Christian,
Why is it hard in a Java shop? We have an excellent JVM driver.
First its just culture, Mongo is used by everybody and his dog here - its known by people and can be supported. RavenDb would be new AND comes from the .Net universe, which is seen by surprisingly many as evil. Second there is a certain lack of library integration, e.g. the driver is good, but there is no integration (that I'm aware of) into the spring-boot database ecoverse. For simple Web projects you just declare some Pojos and define some repository methods you want to have and that works. Its a huge productivity boost and not having that is the nail in the coffin.
In nearest future we are planning to do a major JVM client update to support our latest feature-set. Immediately afterwards we will be looking into 3-rd party integrations starting from well-known and commonly used frameworks.
Oren, could you please share source code for this webinar?
Dejan,
Sure, here it is, will also be linked on the recording notes: https://gist.github.com/ayende/b57d8622ade0906a8b05bbc27612b8eb
