Operating deep within your application, a good database should function like your heart:
- You never see it.
- You don't know how it works, and you don't need to - as long as it's functioning flawlessly.
- It pumps vital sustenance throughout your system. For the heart, it's blood and oxygen. For the database, it's data and metrics.
- It must operate seamlessly all the time.
- The better it performs, the better every other part of your system works.
Achieving this ideal state requires investment. Just like you'd pay for a top cardiologist, a health and fitness coach, and all the right foods to optimize your health, optimizing your database also requires a financial commitment.
But what if investing in the best database on the market returned so much in cost savings and enhanced revenue that it easily exceeded its price tag? A smart investment in the right database should ultimately yield massive dividends in function, performance, and productivity.
Here are the 7 must-haves that will revolutionize your database management and ensure a positive return on your next project:
1. Code, Query, Succeed: Make Every Developer Moment Count
On average, a developer earns $140,000 a year to build an app that could impact your company by millions—even hundreds of millions—in increased revenue, reduced expenses, or a combination of both.
But beware: Every moment your developer isn't improving your app is a moment your investment drains away. A clunky, convoluted database management system forces them to relearn simple queries, wasting precious time and money.
RavenDB eliminates this threat. We've crafted an SQL-based language that developers can master quickly. Instead of enduring costly downtime learning a new system, your team will code sophisticated queries as fast as your database can fulfill them.
Scaling out? With RavenDB, it's no longer a nightmare. Add nodes, replicate data, and expand your database network in a matter of hours, not days. Quick and easy scaling saves you valuable developer time and keeps your database management efficient.
2. From Days to Minutes: RavenDB's Setup Wizard Streamlines Database Security
A cautionary tale: A database once published a 60-page document on how to install and use its security features. The guide was so convoluted and hard to navigate that the database was hacked over 100,000 times.
Installing and securing a database can take days, even weeks, if done manually. However, RavenDB's setup wizard can tackle this in minutes.
Don't leave security to chance. We treat efficient and thorough security as a baseline requirement, so we've included it directly in our setup wizard to make your initial steps as straightforward as possible.
Don't risk your data with complex configurations. Trust RavenDB to secure your database quickly and efficiently.
3. DBA Power Unleashed: Management Studio GUI Elevates Efficiency to New Heights
RavenDB strives to enhance your Database Administrator's productivity by 25% with its Management Studio graphical user interface (GUI), which provides real-time monitoring of performance metrics. RavenDB streamlines and automates tasks that typically require more time for DBAs to complete.
4. Scale Like a Pro: RavenDB's One-Click Node Addition Crushes Relational Databases
What happens when your application becomes a stunning success, and everyone just has to have it on their device? You're suddenly flooded with more traffic, users, and load to manage. You'll need to scale out your database, but at what cost? How much time will your IT team have to dedicate to scaling instead of focusing on your app at its prime?
RavenDB makes scaling out quick and easy. With its intuitive interface, you can effortlessly add new nodes to your database cluster with just a point and a click. Within hours, you can replicate your database to each new node, offering your users faster performance through an expanded, distributed data network.
In database management, scaling out with traditional relational databases can be costly. A good server might set you back $20,000, and once your data storage and load are maxed out, you'll need even more servers.
However, with RavenDB, you can reach 1 million reads and 100,000 writes per second using commodity hardware costing less than $1,000. Scale out with RavenDB, and save valuable time and money while delivering unparalleled performance.
5. Revolutionize Database Management: RavenDB's Instant Alerts and Direct Support Obliterate Downtime
A good database is one that you don't have to worry about. At RavenDB, we understand your concerns, which is why we've built diagnostic tools that constantly monitor what's working—and what isn't.
If something goes down or isn't operating at peak performance, you'll receive a notification along with a recommended fix. Our goal is to ensure you stay in control of your application, allowing you to continue developing without interruption.
When you need to reach out to us, we're here to help without adding to your stress. We understand the frustration of placing your application's fate in the hands of a third party that might not share your sense of urgency.
Even when companies meet their SLA obligations with an automated “We got your issue and will reply shortly,” a resolution that takes over a day can still leave at least one developer sidelined.
That's $560 a day wasted on low-priority work while your next app release remains stalled.
At RavenDB, we aim to respond to issues within two hours and start working on them as quickly as possible. You get dedicated access to our development team, who understand the intricate details of RavenDB and can provide tailored solutions rather than help you navigate scripted tech support barriers.
Empathetic and efficient support will save you time, money, and frustration.
6. Effortless Schema Evolution: Schemaless Design Keeps Your Application Running Smoothly
A relational database makes any change difficult and dangerous. Modifying the database schema typically means taking down your application, potentially for hours. An expert must meticulously sift through every query your application makes, compare them against existing indexes, and verify that no performance regressions have occurred.
This forces your IT team to invest countless hours in the new release, compromising your data network.
But there's a better way.
A schemaless database makes changes easy. With our document database, schema changes are far less costly in developer resources and significantly less disruptive to the seamless operation of your application.
Don't let a relational database's rigid structure trap you in a cycle of downtime and vulnerability. Embrace the flexibility and adaptability of a schemaless database to ensure your application remains resilient and future-proof.
7. Stay Agile, Stay Fast: Dynamic Indexing for Flawless Database Management
Distractions are momentum killers. Any type of downtime, freeze, or crash can turn away countless potential customers and prevent them from buying. One in four shopping carts is abandoned before purchase, mostly due to performance.
If a user has even a few extra seconds to reconsider, especially while the payment page is loading, they're more likely to walk away.
One of the hidden dangers of an effective Agile Development process is the constant tweaking of the application. When you first create your app, you set up queries and indexes to ensure peak performance when a user clicks a button. The database knows exactly what to do, and performance becomes a given.
However, each new version of your app changes how it queries the database, potentially rendering your indexes obsolete. This forces the database to painstakingly scan every bit of data it has before answering the new queries of your latest build. As a result, performance may suffer with every new release.
You can avoid this chaos with RavenDB's dynamic querying. When a query is made to find or aggregate data, RavenDB checks for available indexes that can speed up the process. If none are found, RavenDB creates one. Furthermore, it optimizes existing indexes to generate more efficient indexes for future queries.
This is a behind-the-scenes process you don't need to worry about. The more you query, the faster your database works, improving your app's performance. You're freed from the hassle of recreating queries and indexes every time you rearrange your data for a new release.
With RavenDB's, each new version of your app will run as fast as—or even faster than—the last.
Elevate your database management and keep your momentum going with RavenDB. RavenDB's unmatched database management delivers insane savings & revenue growth that far surpass its price. In effect, your database will be paying you!
