I feel like Rethink would have done a lot better if it were started closer to today. Funnily enough, in 2009 it was originally an SSD-optimized storage engine for MySQL. The dev experience and API were great. It was the "relational mongodb". Though no one feels daring enough to part from PSQL as a backend these days. With all the cloud deployment options and optimizations in PSQL, it's hard to justify writing your own db engine, but for a great real-time experience, that's what needs to happen.
