RavenDB Conference videosRavenDB Embedded at Massive Scales
time to read 1 min | 117 words
In this talk from the RavenDB conference, Rodrigo Rosauro is talking about deploying RavenDB at massive scale, to over 36,000 locations and a total number of machine that exceed half a million.
One particular (and often forgotten) use-case for RavenDB is its usage as an embedded database. This operation mode allows application providers to abstract the complexity of database administration from their end-users while, at the same time, providing you a fully functional document store.
During this talk we will explore the challenges faced while deploying RavenDB in a massive number of machines throughout the globe (aiming at hundreds of thousands), and how RavenDB improved the capabilities of our application.

I see the Esent database errors are an issue here as well. Is there some sort of best practice code, which detects, and automates the Esent recovery as fast as possible with as little impact as possible?
Paul, There is stuff like that (effectively calls the Esent utility functions). They had to write a bunch of stuff like that on startup because they run on so many machines and in such harsh environments.
Mostly it is about running defrag automatically.
Some of that is already done by RavenDB directly, but we stop when this is something that admin should do. What they did was expand on this, but for full details you'll need to ask Rodrigo.
A lot of that also depend on your practices, there are some things you can do if you have a backup, for example.
