Exciting stuff! And I see someone has already created a boilerplate project with it: "A boilerplate for developing react+redux applications with rethinkdb/horizon as realtime database and express for the server." https://github.com/flipace/lovli.js

I think that the number of backends built from scratch will strongly decreased in the next years with this market being more and more interesting and solid.
I will try this out !
