In our everyday lives we use the notion of time to order events: get up before breakfast, eat before work, etc. As this excellent ACM article shows, time can be complex in a distributed system. This is the first of three blog posts about changes to Riak’s logical clocks. They cover a lot of ground: over 3 years. If you prefer to watch a talk, then Sean Cribbs’ excellent “Brief History Of Time (In

RIAK TS Riak® TS is the only enterprise-grade NoSQL time series database optimized specifically for IoT and Time Series data. It ingests, transforms, stores, and analyzes massive amounts of time series data. Riak TS is engineered to be faster than Cassandra. Companies who use Riak TS for time series data: Make real-time decisions Reduce costs Increase performance / scale Reduce downtime Get to mar

This post is now outdated. Please refer to this more recent post: /posts/technical/running-riak-in-docker/ April 21, 2014 In the Riak documentation, one of the first sections contains a quick start.

July 2, 2013 We use the Erlang/OTP programming language in building our products here at Riak. We made that choice consciously, believing that it would be a tradeoff – significant benefits balanced by a handful of costs. I am often asked if we would make the same choice all over again. To answer that question I need to address the tradeoff we thought we were making. The single most compelling reas
