Advent of Strife 2024

Window 5 - The Foundation of Strife

Welcome to Advent of Strife and Window 5! 🎄✨ As we continue our countdown to the holidays, today’s window opens to reveal one of the key building blocks of Strife: RavenDB, the database that powers our platform and enables its exceptional performance.

When creating Strife, we knew we needed a database that could match our ambition to deliver a CMS that was fast, flexible, and effortless to use. RavenDB turned out to be the perfect fit, helping us bring our vision to life.

Here’s what RavenDB brings to Strife:

  • Blazing-fast performance: ⚡ Real-time updates and offline-first capabilities allow content editors to work seamlessly and keep websites snappy and reliable.

  • Unmatched flexibility: 🎨 RavenDB’s document-oriented approach lets us model content dynamically, making it easy to adapt to unique needs and creative workflows.

  • Effortless integration: đź”— Its robust querying and dynamic URL generation ensure smooth connections between Strife and other systems while enabling customization at every level.

  • Eco-friendly optimization: 🌍 By keeping things lightweight and resource-efficient, RavenDB helps us deliver a CMS that’s as fast and high-performing as it is environmentally conscious.

And there’s even more for developers to love. Strife doesn’t abstract away RavenDB—all the advanced database capabilities are fully available for custom solutions. Whether it’s querying, indexing, or leveraging RavenDB’s real-time subscriptions, developers can tap into its full potential directly.

Additionally, RavenDB provides client libraries for most major programming languages, making Strife completely technology-agnostic. This means you can work with the tools and frameworks you already know and love while building exceptional digital experiences.

RavenDB isn’t just a database for us—it’s a partner in our mission to empower developers and editors alike. Together, we’ve built a platform that combines cutting-edge technology with the simplicity and usability that every CMS should strive for.

As we open today’s window, we celebrate 🎉 the strong foundation that RavenDB provides and the possibilities it unlocks for everyone who builds with Strife.
