* Easier, Faster Development - Iterate faster by leveraging a flexible data model and a powerful query language to write less code, avoid database changes. * Flexible Data Modeling - Add features by extending the data model to nest or reference data, or by adding new indexes and queries on the same data. * Powerful Querying & Indexing - Perform complex queries, with or without joins, and benefit from a built-in query editor and schema browser - no code required. * SQL Integration & Migration - Migrate relational data and queries as is, continue to leverage enterprise BI and reporting tools with full support for SQL. * Big Data Integration - Integrate with Spark, Kafka, and Hadoop to enrich, distribute, and analyze operational data streams in real time. * Mobile / IoT Extensions - Simplify mobile development by leveraging a cross-platform, embedded database with automatic synchronization to the cloud. * Elastic Scalability - Scale easily, efficiently and reliably, from a few nodes to many, one data center to multiple, all with "push button" simplicity.

* No need of service installation and communication protocol. The fastest way to use it. You have direct access to the Database memory and you can manipulate objects and data in a very fast way. * Installed as Windows Service, it can be used as a network document store. You can use rest service or wcf service to access it. It's not different from the previous way to use it but you have a networking protocol and so it's not fast as the previous one. * Built using Command Query Responsibility Segregation pattern in mind. * Store data as Bson-like Documents. * Accessible via Rest * Accessible via WCF * Peer to peer synchronization and event propagation enabled. * Pluggable via Server Plugin. * Use Linq syntax for queries.
