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

Third-party libraries and tools


There are official and community-supported libraries available for various programming languages such as Node.js and Python, and integration such as RabbitMQ and ElasticSearch.

For Express.js in Node, you can use RethinkDB as a session store too; there is a module available for that, called express-session-rethinkdb.

All of these tools are listed at the official page of libraries here:https://www.rethinkdb.com/docs/frameworks-and-libraries/.
