An introduction to Riak

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Riak is a Basho built NoSQL key value store written in Erlang and released under the Apache licence that implements Dynamo and favors availability over strict consistency. Deployments start at five nodes with three copies of each object for integrity. Operators report steady subsecond latency often around 8 ms, real customers push 5 TB/day or more, one cluster sustained 17 nodes failing yet stayed writable, and enterprises cite up to 95% cost reductions versus Oracle. Version 1.3 adds stronger entropy checks and faster cross datacenter replication.
