Riak[1] is a NoSQL database implementing the principles from Amazon's Dynamo paper.[2]
Riak has a pluggable backend for its core shard-partitioned storage, with the default storage backend being Bitcask as of the 0.12 release.[3] Riak also has built-in MapReduce with native support for both JavaScript (using the SpiderMonkey runtime) and Erlang, while supporting a variety of additional language drivers such as Python, Java, PHP and Ruby.[4]
On February 21, 2012, Basho announced Riak v1.1. Riak 1.1 included Riaknostic, enhanced error logging and reporting, improved resiliency for large clusters, and a new graphical operations and monitoring interface called Riak Control.
On March 27, 2012, Basho launched Riak CS (Cloud Storage). Riak CS offers multi-tenancy, metering, large-object support and an S3-compatible API on top of Riak.
Riak is used by thousands of companies worldwide, including Voxer, Bump, Comcast, Mozilla, AOL, Ask.com, Yammer, Mobile Interactive Group, Wikia, Opscode, and Mochi Media.[5]
