RethinkDB 2.0 is now production ready

I've been using RethinkDB for a while now and I really enjoy working with it. It's a great fit for React and Angular 2 apps with their one-way data flow through the application. Hook up a store or a model to an event source (server-sent events) that streams the RethinkDB changes feed and it's just awesome and simple. Realtime shouldn't be this easy, totally feels like cheating. Love it.

I also really like the ability to do joins, where before in Mongo I would have to handle data joins in the app level.

How do you deal with user authentication, authorization and data encryption? Do you have a web server/application server or do you just combine static js/html/css resources and RethinkDB?

I'm kind of enamoured with the idea of couchapps -- but I'm still not entirely comfortable with having my db be my web and app server, as well as having it manage passwords etc... as I'm reading up, I'm slowly convincing myself it's possible to both make it work, be easy, support a sane level of TLS, load balance and be secure with proper ACL support... but very few tutorials/books seem to really deal with that to a level that brings me confidence.

By "an event source [...] that streams the RethinkDB changes feed", the parent is implying a separate web service layer that consumes data from RethinkDB and sends it out to clients. RethinkDB is not meant for direct access by clients. More about RethinkDB access here: http://rethinkdb.com/docs/security/ (TL;DR: plaintext shared key or ssh tunnel)

Do you have any project on github that works like that?

Not that's open source, but I can do a little write up article and share a sample app that shows how to do it.

Would love to see this as well. I'm the creator of the Scala driver and always looking for ways to improve the api.I know you may not be using Scala but having insight on how other devs would use it always helps. Plus I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do change feeds hehe.

I'd personally love to see this. Think it would be very valuable to the community.

I second this. I am getting happier by the day with my react client side architecture and am now casting an eye to my server side (currently a Django-rest-framework api) to determine what the best fit there would be.
