When: 11th September, 7pm @ The Outhouse pub Title: Riak, What's all the fuss about? Who: Sam Elliot * Update: Here are the slides presented at EdLambda: https://speakerdeck.com/u/lenary/p/riak-whats-all-the-fuss-about * Abstract --- In
this talk, I hope to give an introduction to Riak, a Highly-Available
Distributed Key-Value Store written in Erlang and based on Amazon's
Dynamo Paper. I'll show the original Dynamo concepts, how they have been
applied to Riak, and some of the extra features that have been added to
make Riak more useful to real-world situations. Finally, I'll say
something about why Erlang was the right language to developer Riak in
(as opposed to a higher-level functional language or an imperative
language). |
