Hello Tom -
ReThinkDB seems like a good project. I'm assuming this is for
client-server over the Internet, yes?
If so, do you plan on connecting the DB directly to the open Internet,
or use a middleware supplying a REST API for clients?
i would presume not. The USP of RethinkDB (at least from my very quick
skim over the website :-) was the 'push' notification of updates to the
clients - which would be lost if you used a 'traditional' REST API from
the end-clients to a server.
If the latter, you'd only need a means of connecting LC directly to
the DB if you were using LC Server. But since LC Server is a CGI,
and since one of the benefits of using ReThinkDB is performance, if
you used PHP as your middleware you'd be able to use the existing APIs
for that language on the server, and your LC-based clients would just
call your REST API via GET and POST.
If this is not helpful, what other considerations might we take into
account to explore options for efficient connections with that DB?
Alex.
