The community is still slowly recovering from the collapse of the company but RethinkDB is worth considering in your analysis.
- database_guy 5y agoI really liked RethinkDB (maybe even loved?), but its demise is one of those cautionary tales that makes me wary of these single-corporate-sponsor databases.
- techdragon 5y agoAbsolutely agree, it’s why I’m so hesitant to let myself like CockroachDB, I’m not a raw SQL person, database choices are a huge investment for me. PostgreSQL and SQLite are the only databases I can recommend without hesitation. I’ll admit I definitely fell all the way into “loving” RethinkDB. I still have some sticker bundles from a meetup group merch package. It’s been an agonisingly slow recovery from the company’s demise, but I still hold onto some hope that it can recover and become a multi-stakeholder database with a steady development like PostgreSQL for the horizontal scale document database world.
