Riak and the demise of Basho

Ironic that the posted link returns a 500 "Error establishing a database connection"

Seems like a good fit. Bet365 is deeply embedded into the Erlang community.

I think Riak properly materialized the NoSQL promise of fully scale-out architectures. Have not seen an open source product that delivers on this (no Mongo does not cut it for me). Sad to see they did not manage to make a business out of it... The bet takers may be a good patron to the project, but ideally it is governed by an independent shop that focuses on further development and marketing.

More importantly, they acquired Russel Brown ( http://basho.com/posts/author/russell-brown/ )

Here a link to their Github:

Not too much Open Source code released by them. Mainly some forks and two RPC libs.
