This is actually a great suggestion. In fact, last week I was at a web developer conference where the need for a DB backend capable of continuous queries emerged as one of the hot topics. RethinkDB is one such database (the other one is http://www.postgresql.org/about/news/1596/ ). If Node/Geode integration will be capable of supporting something like this it would be a great way to get a whole new constituency. In fact, to make it even more irresistible for app developers we could think of integrating with Horizon https://horizon.io/ which would provide one-of-a-kind self-contained backend. Turns out, today, the choice in something like this is super limited. As Horizon README says: https://github.com/rethinkdb/horizon#how-is-horizon-different-from-firebase the choice is basically limited to either Firebase or Meteor. We could do an entirely alternative one! Thanks, Roman.
