[nmalocic]

Describe the proposal

I have been tasked with implementing state store for Raven DB.
So I wanted to check if someone is already working on it. (I asked in Discord and was referred here)

Can you provide references to some details about RavenDB?

• Who is using it / what is the adoption of RavenDB?
• Link to Go SDKs for RavenDB?
• Technical documentation reference for RavenDB?
• Any details for running Raven DB locally / in CI?

About Raven DB

RavenDB is document NoSQL database that supports ACID.
We have over 1000 organizations that use RavenDB from startups to Fortune 500 companies like JetBrains,
Toyota and Verizon just to name a few.

Motivation

We got feature request from some of our clients to implement Dapr State store & IO bindings.
Their project was growing in size, and they started rolling out more and more microservices and wanted to use Dapr.

We see that supporting RaveDb inside Dapr ecosystem as beneficial to both sides.

Technical spec

RavenDB has several SDK's with Go SDK one of them.
Link to our official docs and demo example in multiple languages.

Hi @yaron2 @berndverst ,

Did you had time to think if this is something that you would allow to existing in Dapr ecosystem?
Do you need some additional information before I continue working on the code?

Kind regards,
Nemanja

Thanks, this information is enough to satisfy a contribution of an Alpha component.

As a note, I met with the folks from the RavenDB team and am satisfied it has wide enough adoption and would be a good addition to Dapr as a K/V store, being able to satisfy all API methods, as well as a good potential candidate for a future document store.
