Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about RedBase — from first install to production.

Deployment

Getting Started

RedBase (REDB) is an Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) platform for .NET that provides flexible, schema-less data storage with the performance of traditional SQL databases. It lets you store and query C# objects directly using PostgreSQL or SQL Server as the engine.

Unlike classic EAV solutions, RedBase provides full compile-time strong typing via RedbObject<TProps> — you get IntelliSense, refactoring support, and compile-time error checking. No dynamic, no magic strings, no runtime surprises.

Key features: full LINQ support, tree structures, aggregations, window functions, and zero migrations.

Licensing & Pricing

Yes! The open source core (redb.Core, redb.Postgres, redb.MSSql) is free forever under the MIT license. Use it in any project — personal, commercial, or enterprise — with no restrictions.

Pro packages with advanced features are available under a commercial license with annual pricing.
