RethinkDB Postmortem
Interesting perspective.<p>The article talks alot about big companies that make lots of money but as a user of databases I always saw the competition to ReThink DB being Postgres, MySQL and to a lesser extent ArangoDB and MongoDB.<p>The core problem for Rethink being that, well, I can get as much database as I want for free.  I explored many&#x2F;most of the new&#x2F;nosql databases and in the end always found that Postgres was the best solution - you just shouldn&#x27;t bet against Postgres it seems.<p>I really liked RethinkDB and thought it was well implemented but it just wasn&#x27;t <i>needed</i>.<p>I do wonder if ArangoDB is going to go the same way.
