Another case of Not Invented Here syndrome from Microsoft. One wonders why they couldn't just take the open source and very well architected RavenDB http://ravendb.net http://ravendb.net .Net Document DB and provide first class support for that within Azure.
- Maarten88 12y agoRavenHQ was recently added as an Azure Add-On, you can use it now. But RavenHQ seems much more expensive than DocumentDB (even when doubling the "introduction pricing"), and it's not really integrated in Azure (I understand that it runs on Amazon, in a US datacenter only) But it will be very interesting to compare features, Raven really has a lot of advanced features.
- allegory 12y agoBecause that's just as much of a ghetto, Microsoft can't control it as they'd have to buy it and I doubt Oren would sell it to them. Not only that, there are better products that are free.
- pistle 12y agoI'm going to posit licensing/cost issues as the easy downfall. However, something about the closed sourcing against the context of the open source movement from MS has me wondering about specific implementation details they feel are differentiating or expositions of brilliance/hacks?
