Case Study: Cronos achieves dramatic performance gains and simplified remote‑work data management with RavenDB NoSQL Database

NoSQL Database for Remote Working

Cronos faced a sudden shift to large-scale remote work that exposed limits in their legacy SQL systems: over 500 tables, duplicated IDs when employees moved between projects, and frequent breakages whenever the application changed. To simplify data management and support a flexible “make‑your‑own‑office” program, Cronos chose RavenDB and its RavenDB NoSQL Database to consolidate employee data and improve performance.

RavenDB migrated Cronos to a document‑driven distributed architecture using RQL, automatic indexes, native full‑text search, attachments, and data‑expiration features for compliance. The move cut query times from as much as 30 seconds to one second or less, simplified data modeling and deployments, improved developer productivity after a short retraining period, and enabled GDPR and local retention compliance — delivering clear ROI for Cronos using RavenDB.
