Could someone elaborate on the use-cases that rethinkdb tries to solve?
As a DB newb, what are the advantages of rethinkdb vs. other NoSQL DBs like Mongo. Why and where would I use rethink instead of an SQL DB like postgres?

- neumino 12y agoJust three reasons among others: 1. Joins (real server-side joins) - so you can have many-to-many relations in your data (and nested arrays are a poor answer to this problem) 2. Awesome query language - No strings to concatenate, no strings to escape, no JSON objects with special keys, just plain JavaScript/Python/Ruby/etc. 3. Schemaless - Faster to prototype things, to adapt to a third party data changing.
- mborch 12y agoPostgreSQL can be schemaless if you want it to be. It obviously does joins, so that leaves only the awesome query language.
