It is seriously a breath of fresh air to read something like that. Bravo, Horizon/RethinkDB team.
This is key. Firebase seems great for quick prototypes, but I never built against it because it was unclear (to me at least) how to deal with cases where you want to leave the sandbox and add custom backend functionality that they haven't built out for you. Horizon seems ideal -- it gives you the ease of use of a turnkey system starting out, with the flexibility to customize backend logic/validation later when you need to. That, plus the fact that it's put together by the awesome RethinkDB team, makes it very interesting to me!
Hey guys, Slava @ Rethink here. The team is really excited to launch Horizon -- it's based on a lot of feedback from users of very different backgrounds, and we think it will make web development dramatically easier. I've been up for about twenty-four hours, but I'll be around to answer any questions for the rest of the day.
Could you give me a quick comparison of Horizon and Meteor? I've used Meteor in the past (and loved it), and it looks like Horizon might be fun to learn.

It's an awesome database for a variety of use-cases.
Personally, I think their query language + support for joins makes it much more useable than MongoDB (which I've used quite a bit).
This guarantees that things will interop nicely with eachother and we'll be able to use Rx all around.
