A key-value store written in Erlang, stores JSON and executes MapReduce queries, and is accessible as a web service.
Why no mention of CouchDB and how Riak differs?
- lusis 16y agoWhy does there need to be?
- toastdriven 16y agoI was tempted to do some comparison, especially to Couch/Mongo/Cassandra, but ran out of time. I'll consider a follow up that compares them. In short, Riak wins out to me against all three: * Faster than Couch & easier clustering * Better data integrity than Mongo * Less conceptual overhead & simpler code than Cassandra
- gorog 16y agoRiak is distributed (it automatically shards data on many servers). CouchDB runs on a single server, although it can easily have as many mirrors as needed. Also, Riak features an integrated full-text search engine.
