Preface

Databases are all around us. In the modern web, almost every website that we visit and the web-based applications that we use have a database system working behind the frontend. Web developers are constantly looking for new database solutions that adapt to the modern web, allowing them to store data in a simpler manner.

RethinkDB is both the simplest and the most powerful document database technology available across Linux and OS X platforms. Based on robust and feature-rich software, RethinkDB provides a bunch of features that can be used to develop some real-time web applications that can be scaled incredibly easily. RethinkDB is also open source, so the source code is freely downloadable from the database GitHub repository.
