My impression is that rethinkdb is just too godd to end up like this. Most likely some company/foundation will show up and pick it up Not a good news though ...

terrible news :(

grantcarthew commented 7 years ago

This will not be the end.

Search for database on the front page of github and you get this: Redis: 20000 Stars RethinkDB: 16000 MongoDB: 10000

Some other popular project as a reference: Aurelia: 8000 Angular: 17000 Node.js: 27000 Sailsjs: 15000 Express: 27000

I have used MongoDB, RethinkDB is streets ahead. MongoDB was just the first and because of that it ended up being the database for projects like sailsjs and many others.

Someone will have to run with this. It is being discussed here: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/6137

Although, this could just be wishful thinking considering I have spent the last five months of my free time working on this job queue.

I loved this queue, but the fact that rethink is shutting down is scary. :(

grantcarthew commented 7 years ago

@thomasmodeneis It's not shutting down, the business behind it has shut down.

So far so good, besides not having reliable changefeeds, there is not much more to worry, so far so good. Thanks for the headsup :) Cheers.
