Very useful data. Do you have anything more comprehensive about your experience?

  I don't work at Kiip. :)

    I thought you meant to say you had additional personal experience, but perhaps you've just been reading about Riak today. Thanks anyway.

      I've had a 3-node hardware Riak cluster lying around for about 4 months now, but only just today cut over from Postgres to it. I can talk to you about how shiny Riak is on day 1, but as this presentation shows, the day 1 behavior of a Riak cluster can be a bit of a trap.

        Thomas, I'm in the middle of evaluating document stores and am perhaps getting stars in my eyes from Riak's easy-to-scale story. I'd love to hear more about your experiences once your cluster has had time to marinate a bit.

        Great to hear that you're cutting over to Riak. We highly recommend that your minimum cluster size is your N value (replication value) + 2. I your case that likely means 5 nodes for your starting cluster, not 3. There are many reasons. http://basho.com/blog/technical/2012/04/27/Why-Your-Riak-Cluster-Should-Have-At-Least-Five-Nodes/ http://basho.com/blog/technical/2012/04/27/Why-Your-Riak-Clu...

          Obviously great to know. Thanks!
