&gt;  I think there is only one place where RethinkDB is better then PostgreSQL: replication + automatic failover.<p>I was about to ask. Are you guys running a single server deployment? Because, while I haven&#x27;t used RethinkDB yet, it appeals to me precisely because PostgreSQL is an absolute pain to operate beyond single node setups. I&#x27;ve heard citusdb tries to tackle this, I don&#x27;t know if they succeeded but still it doesn&#x27;t look nearly as friendly as RethinkDB.
