Now it’s Riak’s turn. Nutshell Riak is a distributed, schemaless, data-type agnostic key-value “NoSQL” database written primarily in Erlang. Check out the “What is Riak?” page on Basho’s wiki. Riak does not run on Windows so you’ll need to choose your supported OS of choice to install Riak on. Having used Ubuntu before for MongoDB, I went down that route so my notes here are oriented that way.
