Back in July 2009 I wrote about an ambitious Y Combinator-backed startup called RethinkDB that was setting out to create a new kind of database, built from the ground up for solid state drives (SSDs). It was an intriguing idea "SSDs are faster and more reliable than traditional platter-based drives, and they're becoming less prohibitively expensive. But, as it turns out, there are still a lot of people who are using traditional drives, particularly on services like AWS. So RethinkDB decided to shift gears. As founder Slava Akhmechet puts it, "We changed because we would have been leaving so much money on the table."Which brings us to today: RethinkDB has just launched its 1.0 release to the public, and it's offering a product geared toward NoSQL installations " and it will work on SSDs, traditional drives, and cloud-based services like AWS. The startup has also moved away from MySQL and now fully supports Memcached.
