RethinkDB is the first open-source, scalable JSON database built from the ground up for the realtime web. It inverts the traditional database architecture by exposing an exciting new access model – instead of polling for changes, the developer can tell RethinkDB to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime. RethinkDB’s realtime push architecture dramatically reduces the time and effort necessary to build scalable realtime apps.

Being a JPA provider, Kundera provides support for RethinkDB. Kundera maps JPA Entity with RethinkDB Table.

To use it, the user needs to add the following dependency in pom.xml:

<dependency>
     <groupId>com.impetus.kundera.client</groupId>
     <artifactId>kundera-rethinkdb</artifactId>
     <version>${kundera.version}</version>
</dependency>
