Welcome to Petrify!

Petrify is a .NET entity relationship manager for NoSQL databases.

Based on the Aggregate pattern described in [Domain Driven Design] DDD, Petrify identifies the root entity of an aggregate, ensures that aggregates of different base types are persisted in separate collections, and enforces that nothing outside an aggregate boundary can hold a reference to anything inside, except to the root entity. Combined with the inherent properties of NoSQL databases, this enforces all the rules governing the implementation of aggregates as described in [Domain Driven Design] DDD, Ch.6 p128.

Petrify also supports the lazy loading of associated aggregates (references).
