A curated list of RethinkDB resources and libraries.
While an obvious place to look for help, there are some essential, but often overlooked resources that this list would not be complete without.
- RethinkDB on Slack - get help, learn tricks, talk to developers, help others.
- RethinkDB blog - contains news not only about RethinkDB itself, but also from the app ecosystem.
- RethinkDB on YouTube - real user stories, presentations, future features.
- An official Windows build
- Permissions - a basic user/permission structure (not aimed at browser-to-database connection, see Horizon section for that)
- Encrypted connections for drivers and clusters
RethinkDB members have not committed to any particular version and date, as features are largely driven by community requests. It's likely that some of them will arrive in 2.4, around Q2/Q3 2016.
- resumable changefeeds - lets you to continue where you left off
- GraphQL support - involves discussion around Horizon
- Changefeeds on joins
- Filtering by several indexes - letting the server optimise queries
- Document links - the first step towards graph features, reducing the need for table joins
- What's coming in 2016 - the reasoning behind, and the first public demonstration of Horizon (briefly known as Fusion during pre-alpha).
- Why not MongoDB - a dated article with a timeless lesson about potential risks of storing document trees vs relational data.
- Awesome Big Data List - gives you a wider context of the database world.
- rethinkdbdash - an alternative driver featuring connecting pooling.
- JS Data adapter - allows you to use one API to query RethinkDB from Node.js as you would query REST API from a browser.
