Other successful companies have used this business model.
Mobile is the most common use case for a real-time DB. They didn't provide good iOS and Android integration. Technically Rethink is superior to Firebase, but Firebase is more successful.
- gamesbrainiac 10y agoI believe the thinking was that rethinkdb would always sit behind an API, and if you think about it, its not a bad assumption.
- anindha 10y agoThe plumbing around a real time DB is non trivial especially if you are primary a mobile developer.
- longsangstan 10y agoOnly used Firebase before, why Technically Rethink is superior to Firebase?
- anindha 10y agoI found it too much work to deal with a complex schema in Firebase.
- tracker1 10y agoI'm pretty sure Horizon was meant to fill that niche, though my first look at Firebase had me cringing a little as some of the security model wasn't clear at all, and I am still apprehensive about not having a translation layer between your db and deployed apps that you control.
- anindha 10y agoHorizon was an after thought, too little too late.
