Microsoft announced the availability of Azure DocumentDB as follows...

A fully-managed, highly-scalable, NoSQL document database service.
- Rich query over a schema-free JSON data model
- Transactional execution of JavaScript logic
- Scalable storage and throughput
- Tunable consistency
- Rapid development with familiar technologies
- Blazingly fast and write optimized database service

I really like the "transactional execution of JavaScript logic". Sounds like an approach similar to that of PostgreSQL NoSQL.

Anyone know what is the technological basis for the Azure DocumentDB service? SQL Server?
