Presentation: Tweet"Riak Use Cases: Dissecting the Solutions to Hard Problems"

When building a distributed, NoSQL database, a lot of traditionally accepted theories and practices go out the window. The simple fact of building systems for distributed environments throws up many challenges that are not easily met with traditional software approaches. This session intends to take a deeper look at some popular use cases around Riak – delving deeper into the configurations and the trade-offs made by the users to insure success in a distributed environment. Attendees of this session will come away with a greater understanding of the flexibility of NoSQL solutions like Riak, as well as how Riak solves serious data problems in interesting ways, and learn where Riak might not be the best fit.
