Learn How to Build a Modern .NET App with ease: Azure Functions and Aspire with RavenDB | RavenDB
In this tutorial episode, you get a bit-by-bit architectural walkthrough of "The Library of Ravens," a sample library management application. You will see how to assemble a modern stack using .NET 10, Azure Functions, and RavenDB, all orchestrated through .NET Aspire. You will learn how to reduce egress data costs by implementing HTTP caching. We demonstrate how to use ETag headers so that even when a query is issued, RavenDB can avoid re-sending the full data payload if it hasn't changed. You will also see a clever way to manage process flow by combining RavenDB’s Document Refresh feature with Azure Storage Queues to trigger logic based on document updates. This episode also demonstrates how to use .NET Aspire to orchestrate your components, making it easier to manage connections between your services during development. Finally, you will learn how to design a NoSQL data model for a sample project and set up data migrations to keep your database in sync with your .NET 10 code. Clone the repository and follow along to see how these .NET technologies integrate to handle common application scenarios.
