Marten
A .NET library that uses PostgreSQL as a transactional document database and ACID-compliant event store.
What is Marten?
Marten is a .NET library that transforms PostgreSQL into a transactional document database and event store. It allows developers to store and query .NET objects as JSON documents directly in PostgreSQL, and provides a robust, ACID-compliant foundation for event-sourced architectures. It solves the problem of needing separate databases for document storage and event sourcing by unifying them on a proven relational engine.
.NET developers building applications that benefit from document-oriented data persistence, event-driven architectures, or who want to leverage PostgreSQL for more than traditional relational modeling.
Developers choose Marten for its unique combination of PostgreSQL's reliability with the flexibility of a document database and the power of an event store, all within a single, familiar technology stack. It reduces infrastructure complexity and boosts productivity by providing a .NET-first API for these patterns.
