Can you explain why you think that? I would imagine using two rather popular systems in a somewhat common combination would be a boon to maintainability and set up, if at least for the large pool of developers and online resources already available for it.
But then again, I could be super mistaken. I'm interested in seeing another side of it.
- sbarre 9y agoThis was also my thought when I made the comment... I am sure that for certain use cases, there are more tailored solutions, but "SQL + keystore" seems like a fairly universal, affordable and versatile stack.
- user5994461 9y agoThey are different databases. Riak is a key value store, not unlike the core of redis. The SQL database is obviously relational. Ignoring the difference for a minute. If you can fit data in Redis, chances are that they can fit in riak and a RDBMS is not needed at all. Why Riak only then? It is one of the very few databases that can be clustered. It is sharded, multi-master, highly available, to talk in buzzwords. It is very reliable and very robust, you can add/remove nodes as you wish, replication is highly configurable, etc... Postgre/Mysql/MariaDB + Redis have no HA. They are both the disaster in disaster recovery.
