A couple of months ago I had the joy of giving an internal lecture to our developer group about Voron, RavenDB’s dedicated storage engine. In the lecture, I’m going over the design and implementation of our storage engine.

If you ever had an interest on how RavenDB’s transactional and high performance storage works, that is the lecture for you. Note that this is aimed at our developers, so we are going deep.

You can find the slides here and here is the full video.

One of the most fun things that I do at work is share knowledge about how various things work. A few months ago I talked internally about how Certificates work. Instead of just describing the mechanism of that, I decided to actually walk our developers through the process of building the certificate infrastructure from scratch.

You can find the slides here and the full video is available online, it’s just over an hour of both lecture and discussion.

RavenDB will be participating in the DevWeek hackathon in February. The hackathon is now live, and we are offering prizes worth 4,000 USD for the top two winners.

The hackathon is open to both attendees of the DevWeek conference and the general public. The challenge we put forth is building a sharing platform in a community. I’m excited to see what kind of solutions will be submitted.

I will also be personally attending the DevWeek conference and would be very happy to meet you in person. Happy hacking!
