RethinkDB is awesome. I have a stealth project which uses RethinkDB in the backend. I moved it over from Mongo over the weekend. It will be revealed soon. But I'm working with about 100 million records. Currently testing it with node, slamming it with thousand of concurrent requests. Also, I just started a blog series on Rethink. http://www.realpython.com/blog/python/rethink-flask-a-simple-todo-list-powered-by-flask-and-rethinkdb/#.Uq9Ha2RDtTc http://www.realpython.com/blog/python/rethink-flask-a-simple... Next up will be performance testing. Congrats, RethinkDB.

I'm doing the same thing, launching a service built on RethinkDB and Flask within the next week. I recommend giving Rethink a go if you're contemplating an easy to setup and easy to deploy (AWS supports them) database solution. It also helps that the community behind Rethink are a friendly bunch and the documentation is steadily growing. I've barely scratched the surface of Rethink in terms of functionality and features; but I definitely see a market for it as a competent and approachable database for people who want something that 'just works'.

How much code had you written with Mongo before? What were your major pain points in switching?

  I've been using mongo for about a year. The only pain points are that the API documentation is somewhat confusing. But they still haven't really launched so I expect that the documentation will be updated with better examples soon.

    Could you shoot me a mail at michel@rethinkdb.com with what you found confusing? We are working on making the docs better, and your feedback would really help a lot! Also nice tutorial! I

Thanks for the post on Flask and Rethink. I am starting a side project using these two and it is always good to come across helpful resources like yours.
