RethinkDB doesn't get enough love. It's rare to see anything pass the Jepsen tests to the degree that Rethink did: https://aphyr.com/posts/329-jepsen-rethinkdb-2-1-5

It's sad that, for a backend DB, correctness can be trumped by marketing.

The oplog is awesome! It provides an immutable record which is really useful - we materialize the oplog directly in Athena to get a time-travelling database for debugging purposes.
