Hi,

After this tweet about using FUSE and [Horizon.io](http://Horizon.io): [https://twitter.com/fusetools/status/732633590547243008](https://twitter.com/fusetools/status/732633590547243008) was wondering if anyone had an example of how to setup a Horizon backend for a FUSE app? I’m assuming the suggestion was not simply to setup an API and use fetch to access data, but to use the realtime capabilities of Horizon which would involve more of an integration. Would love to see that if anyone has tried it or has an example.

Thanks!

We know that users have used Horizon with their Fuse projects very successfully, but [seeing as RethinkDB is shutting down](https://rethinkdb.com/blog/rethinkdb-shutdown/), it might not be a good alternative anymore.
