RethinkDB

What is RethinkDB?

Open-source database for building realtime web applications
NoSQL database that stores schemaless JSON documents
Distributed database that is easy to scale
High availability database with automatic failover and robust fault tolerance

RethinkDB is the first open-source scalable database built for realtime applications. It exposes a new database access model -- instead of polling for changes, the developer can tell the database to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime. RethinkDB allows developers to build scalable realtime apps in a fraction of the time with less effort.

Not sure what types of projects RethinkDB can help you build? Here are a few examples:

Build a realtime liveblog with RethinkDB and PubNub
Create a collaborative photo sharing whiteboard

Quickstart

For a thirty-second RethinkDB quickstart, check out rethinkdb.com/docs/quickstart.

Or, get started right away with our ten-minute guide in these languages:

Besides our four official drivers, we also have many third-party drivers supported by the RethinkDB community. Here's a few:

C#/.NET: RethinkDb.Driver, rethinkdb-net
C++: librethinkdbxx
Clojure: clj-rethinkdb
Elixir: rethinkdb-elixir
Go: GoRethink
Haskell: haskell-rethinkdb
PHP: php-rql
Rust: reql
Scala: rethink-scala

Building

First install some dependencies. For example, on Ubuntu or Debian:

sudo apt-get install build-essential protobuf-compiler python \
    libprotobuf-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-all-dev \
    libncurses5-dev libjemalloc-dev wget m4 g++ libssl-dev

Generally, you will need

GCC or Clang
Protocol Buffers
jemalloc
Ncurses
Boost
Python 2
libcurl
libcrypto (OpenSSL)
libssl-dev

Then, to build:

./configure --allow-fetch
# or run ./configure --allow-fetch CXX=clang++

make -j4
# or run make -j4 DEBUG=1

sudo make install
# or run ./build/debug_clang/rethinkdb

Contributing

RethinkDB was built by a dedicated team, but it wouldn't have been possible without the support and contributions of hundreds of people from all over the world. We could use your help too! Check out our contributing guidelines to get started.

Donors

DNSimple provides DNS services for the RethinkDB project.
ZeroTier sponsored the development of per-table configurable write aggregation including the ability to set write delay to infinite to create a memory-only table (PR #6392)
