RethinkDB is an open‑source, distributed NoSQL database that stores schemaless JSON documents. It provides real‑time changefeeds that push query results to applications without polling.
Use cases
- build a collaborative live‑editing app with real‑time updates
- create a multiplayer game backend that syncs player actions instantly
- stream analytics dashboards that update as new data arrives
- power a real‑time marketplace with live pricing and order books
- connect IoT devices and trigger actions based on live sensor streams
When to choose
- you need low‑latency, push‑based data updates to clients
- your application stores JSON documents and benefits from schemaless flexibility
- you require built‑in sharding, replication and automatic failover
- you want a simple query language with real‑time changefeeds
When to avoid
- you need strong ACID transactions or complex relational joins
- your workload is primarily analytical batch processing rather than real‑time feeds
- you require a mature ecosystem of enterprise‑grade tooling and support
- you need a columnar store or time‑series optimized database
