I always thought Basho was a great company with a great product. I felt like I learned a lot through Basho documentation. I never really understood what happened to the company though as it seemed highly regarded amongst the dev community as well and Riak was always mentioned in the same sentence as the other distributed data stores at that time.
- macintux 5y agoTough market, limited potential customer base for such a specialized tool, some product/release planning issues with Riak 2.0, and ownership structure that didn’t make anything easy at the end (but I’m far from an expert on this topic, especially the last one, just parroting distant memories). Engineering was very talented, and the customer support team was truly top notch. Such a shame, best job I’ve ever had.
