RethinkDB 2.0

Open source, production-ready database for the realtime web.

RethinkDB 2.0 launched on April 17, 2015. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

What it does

We’re proud to announce that after five years of development, RethinkDB is ready for production. Download RethinkDB 2.0 ( Yojimbo ) now! We designed RethinkDB from the ground up to make building and scaling realtime apps dramatically easier. The cumulative development effort behind the project includes more than 2,000 improvements , implemented across 16 major releases. Our GitHub repository has nearly 30,000 commits, spanning the lifetime of the project. RethinkDB 2.0 inverts the traditional database model. Instead of polling for changes, the developer can tell RethinkDB to continuously push live query updates to the application. Propagating updates from the persistence layer simplifies…from rethinkdb.com

    Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
