Are you still using it? How is the pace going on the community-supported version? I stopped using it after the company folded, but I do kind of miss it. Definitely one of the more interesting designs, and light years beyond what MongoDB was at the time.
- NetOpWibby 4y agoI’m definitely still using it, via rethinkdb-ts (npm package). I even forked it to make it work with Deno. The built-in Data Explorer is a must-have for me and idk of any other database that has something similar.
- eis 4y agoThere are plenty of data explorers for other databases, especially SQL DBs. I don't think it being built into the DB should be a make-it-or-break-it feature. I used RethinkDB back in the days because it was the first DB that had pretty good replication and sharding - it was zero effort. I felt the functional programming model to be strange, some stuff got executed locally, other parts remotely and it was not very straight forward when things didn't go as planned. By the time the RethinkDB company folded, CockroachDB emerged and has been my go-to distributed DB since.
