They (Riak) have worked with us in a true partnership fashion to keep up with our rapidly scaling business and have always addressed our concerns in a timely manner.
- Matt Davis, Site Reliability Engineer at OpenX
Today, we now see peaks well over 250,000 operations per second, all while sustaining sub-millisecond response times and rock solid stability. Despite this massive change in growth, we still do not employ any full-time engineers to work on our Riak cluster. It’s really that easy to use.
- Wes Jossey, Head of Operations at Tapjoy
Riak has been a valuable partner in our transformation and Riak has proven to be a critical component as the NoSQL distributed database powering our new platform.
- Bryson Koehler, EVP and CIO, The Weather Company
