I'm very excited about this! Without reading too much into this, is it safe to say it's like a self-hosted firebase?
"Due to the way deepstream structures its data (JSON blobs, identified by a primary key) it is recommendable to use an Object oriented or schema-less database (e.g. MongoDB or RethinkDB), rather than a relational database like MySQL."
Is there a way to run complex queries against the data or it designed to abstract that all away from you to be as fast as possible?
- yasserf 11y agoYup,the data is still queryable.here's an article on the subject http://deepstream.io/tutorials/searching-and-querying.html http://deepstream.io/tutorials/searching-and-querying.html
- ollysb 11y agoOne of the major limitations of firebase is that it's not possible to filter results by permissions. Is this something that deepstream can do?
- sirstompsalot 11y agoSimilarly (without reading too much about it) can I use InfluxDb instead of RethinkDb? (Disclaimer: I'm a RethinkDB fanboy, but I'd like to know my options.)
- vidarh 11y agoInfluxDB is a time series database (think reporting/analysis of collected system metrics). It's not intended as a general purpose database.
- sirstompsalot 11y agoNo, its definitely not. However, I can think of a few instances where I might use it along with Deepstream.
- rubiquity 11y agoWhy would you compare InfluxDB and RethinkDB? Those are two databases for very, very different problems. CouchDB and MongoDB are more comparable to RethinkDB if that helps you get a start!
- oori 11y ago"it's like a self-hosted firebase" Basically, yes. see the subscribe() function.
