RavenDb + Nancy

RavenDb

RavenDB is a transactional, open-source Document Database written in .NET, offering a flexible data model designed to address requirements coming from real-world systems. RavenDB allows you to build high-performance, low-latency applications quickly and efficiently.

Data in RavenDB is stored schema-less as JSON documents, and can be queried efficiently using Linq queries from .NET code or using RESTful API using other tools. Internally, RavenDB make use of indexes which are automatically created based on your usage, or were created explicitly by the consumer.

RavenDB is built for web-scale, and is offering replication and sharding support out-of-the-box.
