Riak & Dynamo, Five Years Later

Explore the evolution of distributed databases in this GOTO Night 2013 presentation by Andy Gross, Chief Architect at Basho Technologies. Delve into the impact of Amazon's Dynamo paper on NoSQL databases, particularly Riak, five years after its publication. Learn about consistent hashing, node failures and recoveries, request handling, and the architecture of Riak. Examine topics such as eventual consistency, immutable data, conflict-free commutative structures, and multi-datacenter replication. Gain insights into the successes, challenges, and future prospects of Riak as it moves beyond its Dynamo roots. Discover how distributed systems have progressed and what the next five years may hold for this technology.
