Nservicebus 4 with azure and RavenDB

Question

I see that RavenDb is the default storage for nservicebus 4 and that RavenDb has to be installed.

How does this work with nservicebus endpoints hosted as azure worker roles? I have several of these and am trying to get my mind around what I will need to do to upgrade these end points.

Answer 1

You have 2 options:

• Use RavenHQ and assign the connection string, see http://support.nservicebus.com/customer/portal/articles/859362-using-ravendb-in-nservicebus-%E2%80%93-connecting
• Use SqlServer as persistence

Answer 2

Apparently RavenDb is not required, contrary to what the release notes currently state. I was able to configure an azure role to use subscription storage and it appears to use azure table storage with no issues.
