Sample of how to deploy RavenDb to Azure as Web Role

Update: better solution

Here is a better sample of RavenDB hosting solution (and more advanced): https://github.com/cloudpowerups/cp-azure-samples/tree/master/CP.Azure.Samples.RavenDB

Sample: Azure hosting of RavenDb as Web role

This is a sample of how you can host RavenDb as Web role. It is highly recommended to use RavenDB build >602 (which is currently unstable). Version embedded here is 573.

A few things to mention

• Tested to be working propertly in "Esent" storage mode when running in real Azure (with build >602).
• Application pool is configured to never recycle and timeout to achieve best performance
• Max query string is configured for up to 16Kb
• If you need to host it as Worker Role search "simplefx/AzureRavenDB" on GitHub. Originally I was using that solution to get it working for me.
