It has an expressive query language that supports method chaining and distributed joins. The database is easy to scale, with a robust clustering and automatic failover. RethinkDB\u2019s signature feature is it\u2019s native support for live queries that push realtime updates to your application.<br \/>\nThe company behind RethinkDB shut down last year after struggling to build a sustainable business around the product. Many former RethinkDB employees currently work for Stripe, where they help build infrastructure for developers around the world. After the company behind RethinkDB closed its doors, the database continued to live on as an open-source software project. Today\u2019s announcement eliminates any remaining uncertainty about the project\u2019s health and status, ensuring a bright future for the project in community hands.<br \/>\nWhat happens next?<br \/>\nWe\u2019ll be steadily open-sourcing more software, content, a huge amount of artwork (by the wonderful @annieruygt) and documentation developed by the core team over the past seven years. We\u2019ve also been speaking with the CNCF about possibly becoming an Inception project going forward. Our community has some important decisions to make together about how to define RethinkDB\u2019s future.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/rethinkdb.com\/blog\/rethinkdb-joins-linux-foundation\/\">RethinkDB joins The Linux Foundation &#8211; RethinkDB<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RethinkDB, a very high quality open source database software, faced difficulties when the company developing it shut down last year.
