When NOT to use ravendb
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- - If you are seeking solutions specifically optimized for vector search, as RavenDB's focus is broader on general document storage capabilities with full-text and not primarily on vector similarities
- - When your team prefers development environments outside the.NET framework or when integrating with systems that require minimal dependence on proprietary tools
