RethinkDB
The open-source database for the realtime web

RethinkDB is an open-source, scalable NoSQL database designed for building realtime applications. It pushes JSON data to connected clients automatically when data changes, eliminating the need for polling. It supports a rich query language across multiple programming languages and includes clustering, sharding, and a built-in web UI.
RethinkDB uses a changefeeds feature that continuously pushes updated query results to applications in realtime whenever the underlying data changes.
