AI agents: use the documentation index at llms.txt to locate machine-readable pages. This section is indexed by https://docs.particular.net/persistence/llms.txt. The markdown version of this page is served as plain text. An MCP server at /mcp serves the same content via the search_docs and read_doc tools; it is read-only and needs no credentials. Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending .md to the page URL. Directory URLs use index.md. They are served as text/plain because some retrieval backends reject text/markdown.

Installing RavenDB

Component:
NServiceBus

To install RavenDB, download the server and install as described in the RavenDB documentation or use a hosted RavenDB provider such as RavenHQ.

RavenDB should only be used for NServiceBus persistence when the endpoint's business data is already stored in RavenDB. NServiceBus shares the same DocumentStore object used for business data, configured using the RavenDB connection options.

Upgrading RavenDB

To upgrade an existing RavenDB installation, refer to the RavenDB upgrade process.

Remember to back up all databases before upgrading.
