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

Summary


This chapter was full of code and implementations. We started with an application introduction and what we are going to build and did it by steps. We modeled the database; we developed the backend system, and then, finally, a frontend. I can say this chapter is one of the key chapters in this book because we used whatever we learned and made something useful out of it.

The next chapter is going to be more fun; we are going to implement a Polyglot Persistence engine using our RethinkDB. Polyglot Persistence is a concept where we synchronize various databases at once. Let's move on to the next chapter, where we will see this and much more in detail.
