RethinkDB is an open-source, distributed NoSQL document database designed for building real-time applications, notable for its ability to push updated query results to applications instantly via changefeeds. It stores data in JSON-like documents and was popular among developers building collaborative or live-updating apps before the core company shut down in 2016, though the project continues under open-source stewardship. It's used by backend and full-stack developers needing real-time data synchronization.
