Experiments with Sitecore running on RavenDB and MongoDB. Primary goals:
- Universal DataProvider wrapper for simplifying writing data providers for Sitecore.
- Read only data provider for serialized Sitecore items, intented for quick Sitecore prototyping and testing (or think TDS).
- Fully production ready data providers, including support for event queue, history, blob storage, the full monty!
- "Event Sourcing" stylede data providers (basically all CRUD operations is only inserts which enables some interesting data replication benefits).
See /doc/Measurements.xlsx for current performance data.
Inspiration for the MongoDB implementation came from this blog post: (http://hermanussen.eu/sitecore/wordpress/2012/05/making-sitecore-faster-with-mongodb/), big thanks to Robin Hermanussen for getting me inspired to trying out MongoDB!
This is tested with Sitecore 6.4.1 rev. 110324 and Sitecore 6.5.0 rev. 120427.
- Clone
- Place Sitecore.Kernel.dll in \lib\Sitecore\
- Configure (connection strings, data folder etc. setup IIS website with clean Sitecore installation) and build
- Deploy (Use build configuration "Debug with Publish" and a deploycommand.xml pointing to above IIS website)
- Run /Transfer.aspx
Please do :)
