RethinkDB Shows Remarkable Momentum with 30% Growth Month-over-Month

Open-Source Scalable Database Now Hosts 120,000 Developers

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--()--RethinkDB, an open-source scalable database for the realtime web, today announced that 2015 has been a record growth year. Now with more than 120,000 developers using its realtime database, the company experienced 30 percent growth each month over the past year.

“We are thrilled by the phenomenal growth we have seen this year,” said Slava Akhmechet, co-founder of RethinkDB. “The addressable market for realtime databases is $3.5 billion and we know that many in the industry are looking for the solution that we offer. We plan to continue to grow and develop our platform to bring the powerful benefits of the realtime web to any who want to develop for it.”

RethinkDB is the first open-source, scalable JSON database built from the ground up for the realtime web. Instead of polling for changes, RethinkDB inverts the traditional database architecture, allowing the developer to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime. The company’s realtime push architecture dramatically reduces the time and effort necessary to build scalable realtime apps. RethinkDB offers a flexible query language, intuitive operations and monitoring APIs, and it is easy to setup and learn.

As part of this growth, RethinkDB is committed to building its open-source community by hosting meetups, hackathons and user groups throughout the country. So far the company has hosted 35 meetups in places such as California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington. It has also has regular user groups throughout the world and has held international hackathons in Kenya, India and California.

The popular developer community GitHub lists RethinkDB as the No. 1 document database. RethinkDB has also been named one of the fastest growing databases by the analyst firm 451 Research.
