This presentation introduces an early prototype of Basejump, an open source framework for backend API prototyping. Basejump makes it easy to define REST endpoints powered by simple ReQL queries. It comes with a browser-based user interface for managing live API endpoints. It offers a convenient way to rapidly protoype working API backends, with data persistence and input validation.

In RethinkDB 2.0, the Python and Ruby client drivers gained support for asynchronous use via integration with Tornado and EventMachine. In this presentation, I show how to perform RethinkDB queries asynchronously in Python and Ruby and demonstrate how to build a realtime web application that uses changefeeds in Ruby with the Faye framework.
