Noms vs RethinkDB: What are the differences?
What is Noms? A new decentralized database based on ideas from Git. Noms is a new database that makes it easy to store, move, and collaborate on large-scale structured data. Noms gives you the entire Git workflow, but for large-scale structured (or unstructured) data. Fork, merge, track history, efficiently synchronize changes, etc.
What is RethinkDB? JSON. Scales to multiple machines with very little effort. Open source. RethinkDB is built to store JSON documents, and scale to multiple machines with very little effort. It has a pleasant query language that supports really useful queries like table joins and group by, and is easy to setup and learn.
Noms and RethinkDB can be primarily classified as "Databases" tools.
Noms and RethinkDB are both open source tools. It seems that RethinkDB with 22.4K GitHub stars and 1.74K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Noms with 6.91K GitHub stars and 251 GitHub forks.
