I'm launching a scalable open source cryptocurrency payment system using RethinkDB.
It's amazing how well it works and scales on Kubernetes at the click of a button. There is a video of it on my project website https://crypticle.io/ https://crypticle.io/
I intend to keep using it for as many future projects as possible.
AFAIK, the business did not survive because the product was too good and didn't have enough problems to charge support for.
Actually this is a big problem in open source and that's why I'm involved in cryptocurrency now.

To be fair, that's a very minor issue. Perfectly manageable, just a slight inconvenience when you figure things out.
- cryptica 7y agoIt's not that difficult, you can use the reconfigure query to put all the shards on one server, then you can scale down the other servers.
