Mastering RethinkDB

Overview of this book

RethinkDB has a lot of cool things to be excited about: ReQL (its readable,highly-functional syntax), cluster management, primitives for 21st century applications, and change-feeds. This book starts with a brief overview of the RethinkDB architecture and data modeling, and coverage of the advanced ReQL queries to work with JSON documents. Then, you will quickly jump to implementing these concepts in real-world scenarios, by building real-time applications on polling, data synchronization, share market, and the geospatial domain using RethinkDB and Node.js. You will also see how to tweak RethinkDB's capabilities to ensure faster data processing by exploring the sharding and replication techniques in depth. Then, we will take you through the more advanced administration tasks as well as show you the various deployment techniques using PaaS, Docker, and Compose. By the time you have finished reading this book, you would have taken your knowledge of RethinkDB to the next level, and will be able to use the concepts in RethinkDB to develop efficient, real-time applications with ease.

Preface

Chapter 6.  RethinkDB Deployment

In previous chapters, we learnt about how RethinkDB works, how to perform complex queries, and how to manage the RethinkDB instance, along with troubleshooting RethinkDB and crash recovery. So we are now ready to deploy our RethinkDB cluster to the development environment.

In this chapter, we are going to learn various ways in which we can successfully deploy our RethinkDB instance.

In this chapter, we will learn about Platform as a Service (PaaS) applications such as Amazon which allow us to deploy RethinkDB in one click and pay as you go.

We will also look at a very important aspect of deployment which is quite popular nowadays: Docker. Docker is a container-based solution to perform deployment without worrying about the existing infrastructure of various servers.

At the end of the chapter, we will also learn about deploying RethinkDB to a standalone server.

We are going to cover the following topics:

  • Deploying RethinkDB using PaaS services

  • Deploying RethinkDB...
