How I use RavenDB

From my Octoblog: How Octopus uses RavenDB
When I started building Octopus Deploy, I wanted to build something that worked well enough to release a beta and start getting feedback. I had plenty of experience with SQL Server and NHibernate/EF, so I decided to go with a SQL Server + EF Code First stack for my persistence layer.
In the recent 1.0 RC release, I switched Octopus to use RavenDB. In this post I'll explain the reason for the change, and show how it is being used.
