RavenDB FAQ
Common questions about RavenDB, answered from independent, dated evidence.
What is RavenDB?
RavenDB is a document database that automatically optimizes indexes and queries without manual configuration. It provides ACID transactions across clusters, master-master replication for high availability, and can be deployed in cloud, on-premises, or edge environments. It is indexed under NoSQL Databases.

What platforms does RavenDB support?
RavenDB supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Source: https://ravendb.net
Can RavenDB be self-hosted?
Yes. RavenDB can be deployed cloud / SaaS, hybrid, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
Source: https://ravendb.net
What does RavenDB integrate with?
We have confirmed 20 integrations for RavenDB, including SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch, Kafka, RabbitMQ and Snowflake, plus 12 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
Source: https://ravendb.net
What security certifications does RavenDB have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA for RavenDB. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as RavenDB not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Is RavenDB open source?
Yes. RavenDB is published under the MIT licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for RavenDB, not the verdict.
