Former rethinkdb developer here. Sharding and replication just work out of the box. Connect the servers to each other with "rethinkdb --join otherserver", then use the web dashboard or the client APIs to specify how many shards and replicas for each table. Send queries to any server in the cluster and they get routed automatically.
- cupcakestand 9y ago> Send queries to any server in the cluster and they get routed automatically. Nice! Also the writes? Mongo wants the writes to the primary only.
- timmaxw 9y agoYes, if you send a write to a server that's not the primary then rethinkdb will transparently forward it to the primary.
