RethinkDB 2.4.1

RethinkDB was always one of my favorites, and I still use it to this day to perform more complex ad-hoc queries on data since it's fairly easy to chain a query together in Javascript from the web console. I'm glad to see that it's still alive, even if progress is slow.

RethinkDB was behind my first major software project at my first job, and it was so great to use it it has been hard to find an alternative database. Really happy that it’s still getting some development!

Ah, RethinkDB, the former love of HN.<p>Sadly it got a bit silent around it since the company shut down.<p>I used it for a product in 2015, pretty nice piece of software.

I’d recommend checking out materialize.io for anyone who still has hopes for a reactive db. Is the only project I’ve seen with the ambition of rethink (besides ksqldb, which feels too caveat-ridden, although still interesting).<p>(Yes, rethink is still “alive”, but between the performance issues and death of the supporting company it’s probably not the wisest piece of tech to become wedded to)

Would be interesting to compare this RethinkDB release performance against a modern time series database like Timescale[1].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.timescale.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.timescale.com&#x2F;</a>

Rethinkdb, still wear my t-shirt from them for creating the the Scala library[1]. Learned so much on that project. Fun times<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kclay&#x2F;rethink-scala" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kclay&#x2F;rethink-scala</a>

I&#x27;m not sure if Zerotier still uses Rethinkdb in production. Someone knows?
