Great writeup. I wish there was a search engine built on the top of Riak that has a bit simpler workload distribution.

Great writeup. I wish there was a search engine built on the top of Riak that has a bit simpler workload distribution.
- statictype 7y agoIs Riak still supported and used? I was under the impression that it’s dead. Is that not the case?
- StreamBright 7y agoIt is community supported so no commercial support. It is used in many services around the globe. https://github.com/basho/riak_core/commits/develop-3.0 https://github.com/basho/riak_core/commits/develop-3.0
- peterwwillis 7y agoThere's really nothing simple about building apps on top of Riak. It's one of those things that seems simple until you use it in production, and then you realize it's a total nightmare and you can't wait to sunset it.
- StreamBright 7y agoWithout details, I am not really sure what you are talking about. Riak is just a key-value store, probably the simplest abstraction to store data. I have put it in production several times and operated it for years. Reliability and performance is just outstanding. Scalability was capping out around 150 nodes in the same cluster.
