- Query Operations
- Server Operations
- Bucket Type Operations
- Data Type Operations
- Riak Search (Yokuzuna) Operations
BENEFITS OF ROBUST APIs AND CLIENT LIBRARIES IN RIAK KV
Along with extensive documentation and packaging tools, Riak KV simplifies development with a broad set of easy-to-use APIs and client libraries.
Manage massive amounts of data
With APIs, companies benefit from other developers’ core skills to support their own applications. Riak’s team includes some of the world’s best distributed systems developers, and they ensure that Riak KV has a broad set of APIs, enabling you to manage massive amounts of unstructured data.
Faster time to market
Riak KV enables a variety of Big Data use cases. Large enterprises across multiple industries rely on it for fast data retrieval. With Riak KV, you can quickly develop complex, highly available applications and get to market faster.
Increase performance and scale
Big Data applications require a high-performance data store that easily scales to handle massive data volumes. To do this, you’ll need a client API that scales. It doesn’t matter how well you build your application if your data-store API takes several seconds to respond, or even worse, is unreliable. With Riak KV, you get a highly performant, highly reliable set of APIs that ensure your application scales to meet your business needs.
