I have tinkered with RethinkDB a lot recently. It's the NoSQL DB (and the DB of any kind, I believe) that has the deepest focus on real-time features, that mixed up with Golang's concurrent model can support really powerful and highly scalable real-time apps.

But my question is, what are your thoughts on building more than a product but a business with RethinkDB? Will the support quality decrease? Will Stripe offer architectural consulting? Will developers be interested in learning ReQL?
