I've been experimenting a bit with RethinkDB within the last few days. Its stability is definitely not there (too be fair, they've made this clear), so it's crashed when I needed it most. But here are the finer points:
1) Their team is extremely responsive. In fact, the most responsive team that I've dealt with on Github. I've posted at least 4 Github issues during various times of the day and evening and I've gotten a response in less than 10 minutes. Most of the time, more than one member responded.
2) They are not over selling their product like MongoDB did. They are very clear about what their product does and doesn't do.
3) Clustering is stupidly simple. You can have one setup within minutes and have your servers geographically located throughout the world.
4) The web UI makes administering the databases easy and fun.
After they get the kinks (stability & docs) fixed, this database will definitely have a bright future.
- coffeemug 13y agoslava @ rethink here. Could you link to the crashing bug you're referring to here? (just so other people have the benefit of learning about it) EDIT: also, thanks for the kind words!

- coffeemug 13y agoAh thanks. This OOM crashes have been lurking for a while. @srh is working on this now and it should be gone once and for all after 1.10. Sorry you ran into this!
- StavrosK 13y agoI've asked this before and you replied, but it was lies, all lies! I will ask again: What have you done with Marc and why is he never on Steam? We lost a perfectly good DOTA2 player and all-around good guy!
- mglukhovsky 13y agoHaha, I mentioned it to Marc the other day-- he's out of the office now, but I'll be sure to ask again for you. :)
- StavrosK 13y agoAlright, thanks :)
- StavrosK 13y agoRegarding #1, at some point I told them I could use hard timeouts on JS and they said "sure, we can add this", I said "no no, this was more of a general wish for the future, there's no need to spend time on it" and they were like "well too late, we already implemented it". I hope I get a reason to use Rethink soon again, the team has just been great and the product itself is ticking all the right boxes with me.
