How we're rethinking databases:
Optimized for solid-state drives.
Optimized for solid-state drives.
RethinkDB is designed and optimized for solid-state drives. Don't just buy new technology, make use of it!
The database is the log.
The database is the log.
Solid-state drives let us use append-only algorithms, so your data is always in a consistent state.
Open development process.
Open development process.
We believe in releasing early, and releasing often. We will keep our design process open to our user community.
Our features:
Better performance.
Solid-state drives are already fast. But our optimizations take advantage of how they behave, making all your transactions insanely fast.
Lock-free concurrency.
We're optimizing for modern access patterns with many readers and fewer writers. We're using lock-free concurrency to achieve amazing performance.
Never take down your servers.
We support live schema changes to your table, even while the database is answering queries. Hot backups are as simple as copying files.
Instantaneous recovery from failure.
Forget complicated log replays. We're an append-only database.
Drop-in replacement.
As a MySQL storage engine, you can simply drop RethinkDB into your existing infrastructure.
