This is a huge day for Riak Technologies, Riak, and our growing community of users.
We are thrilled to announce Riak’s partnership with Joyent to bring our community hosted Riak on Joyent’s Smart platform. With both open source and enterprise versions available, anyone can quickly spin up a Riak cluster and start building applications.
When we first began talking to Jason and David and the rest of the Joyent team early this year, we realized we shared a common vision for the future of infrastructure. The past several months have been spent finalizing the details, and in just a few weeks you’ll be able to go to my.joyent.com and, with a few clicks, purchase and deploy as many nodes of Riak you want, need, and can handle.
Making pre-configured Riak SmartMachines available in the Joyent cloud will enable developers to combine all the benefits of Riak with the proven, advanced hosting platform that businesses like LinkedIn, Gilt, and Backstage rely on every day.
Mark your calendar, because hosted Riak is here!
Thanks,
