Tonight's meeting + s Database link

[Kevin LaTona]

First off what a fun meeting it was tonight with a great conversation.

Let's do more of them.



Next this is the link to that JSON Database I mentioned but could not recall the name on.

RethinkDB overview

RethinkDB is built to store JSON documents, and scale to multiple machines with very little effort. 

It has a pleasant query language that supports really useful queries like table joins and group by, and is easy to setup and learn.

See the highlights of RethinkDB 


Simple programming model:
	• JSON data model and immediate consistency.
	• Distributed joins, subqueries, aggregation, atomic updates.
	• Secondary, compound, and arbitrarily computed indexes.
	• Hadoop-style map/reduce.


Easy administration:
	• Friendly web and command-line administration tools.
	• Takes care of machine failures and network interrupts.
	• Multi-datacenter replication and failover.


Horizontal scalability:
	• Sharding and replication to multiple nodes.
	• Queries are automatically parallelized and distributed.
	• Lock-free operation via MVCC concurrency.
