RethinkDB
Open-source document database that pushes query results to applications in realtime.
RethinkDB is an open-source document database built for realtime web applications. It is C++ software that the project distributes as official packages, as an official Docker image and as source to build with make.
The server runs as a long-lived process, and the documentation describes setting it up as a system service. A web interface manages the cluster, and access is controlled through users, permissions and scopes. The Linux Foundation holds the copyright in the code.
Worth knowing
The project’s website and documentation date from an earlier period than the repository, which has recent commits. The docs may describe older behavior than the current code.
