If anyone wants to play with rethink's (awesome) web UI, we setup a demo here: http://rethinkdb.a.pogoapp.com

We ran into a little bug w/ the ajax requests using the wrong port when run behind an nginx reverse proxy, and the team was very helpful and responsive in getting it fixed: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/63

Seems like a very promising project

slava@rethink here - thanks for setting this up! Is this running on ec2 or on your local infrastructure?

thanks for making it! it's our platform built around heroku's open-sourced toolchain, so we made a little buildpack + app repo w/ Procfile, compiled into a slug and then deployed it out like everything else

Could you shoot me an e-mail to slava@rethinkdb.com? We're looking into building a Heroku plugin, and I'd love to chat about potential solutions to this (we're new to Heroku here).

Thanks, but word of warning - through the Data Explorer interface it is possible to take down a core or two by passing things like 'while (1) {}' to the r.js() command

No good deed goes unpunished, etc.

Hey, it's actually not very difficult for us to make this more robust (e.g. kill and restart the v8 process if it gets out of line). EDIT: here's an issue for this -- https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/69

We'll fix this ASAP (though this is somewhat of a low priority).

Thanks. I tried it out and it wasn't too bad. It's in LXC in KVM on hardware, so there's some cgroups and vpus and such in the way of total meltdown

There are actually really cool insidious queries you can run. There is for example a query you can run which will insert an infinite number of documents into a table!! Hats off to the first person to post it.

It's awesome that you're hosting this you should just be sure it's on a machine you're not depending on for other services.

t.forEach(t.insert(t.without("primaryKey"));

Only try this at home.
