May 2025 monthly summary for ravendb/ravendb. Key outcomes include improved developer onboarding and observability through two focused feature deliveries with traceable RavenDB-issue references. First, NuGet Package Readme Documentation Enhancement delivering README.md for Raven.Client, Raven.Embedded, and Raven.TestDriver; packaging script updates to copy README.md into embedded outputs and to include README as the package readme in project files (RavenDB-16644). Second, PostgreSQL traffic monitoring in Traffic Watch introducing a PostgreSQL traffic type and logging of PostgreSQL calls to improve visibility into database interactions (RavenDB-23717; commits 6465c9a5... and ba79bd3d...). Post-review fixes were applied to these changes to ensure reliability and performance.
