RavenDB announced a Cloud Managed Database Service

RavenDB announced a new RavenDB Cloud managed database service.

As of now, RavenDB Cloud is currently available on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. All regions on both AWS and Azure are supported. Google Cloud Platform is coming in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to the announcement.

RavenDB is an open source and high-performance NoSQL Document Database.

Executive Opinion

CEO of RavenDB, Oren Eini, said, "We are excited to be launching our new RavenDB Cloud service to provide a package that includes everything you need in one box to minimize complexity, maintain high availability and deliver predictability in cost, performance and service. Our objective is to completely remove all the grunt work associated with acquiring, configuring and maintaining a database so that users can focus more on their application and how it works with their data."

RavenDB Managed Database Service

RavenDB Cloud takes care of maintaining hardware servers, installation, configuration, monitoring internals and security for its users worldwide.

The cloud database cluster ensures high availability and fault tolerance with nodes in different availability zones. The cluster uses an assignment failover feature. Dedicated clusters are made available to ensure maximum performance for high-end systems.

RavenDB Cloud will manage clusters for versions 4.0 and onwards. RavenHQ will continue to provide managed services for RavenDB hosting for versions 3.5 and earlier, says the announcement.

RavenDB also offers migration tools to its DBaaS from RavenHQ, SQL databases, major NoSQL databases and on-premise RavenDB solutions. RavenDB Cloud also provides metrics for measuring each step of indexes and aggregations to deliver cost optimization. Features like pull replication enable a hybrid on premise-cloud architecture. RavenDB Cloud runs on smaller machines, enabling top-level performance provisioning less expensive hardware, notes the announcement.

RavenDB is also offering Free tier for developers.
