About Riak
----------
Riak is a nosql database solution, built with Erlang and designed to duplicate
the functionality of Amazon's Dynamo.
Riak has a pluggable backend for its core shard-partitioned storage, with the
default storage backend being Bitcask. Riak also has
built-in MapReduce with native support for both JavaScript (using the
SpiderMonkey runtime) and Erlang, while supporting a variety of additional
language drivers, including Python.
For a comparison of Riak with other nosql solutions, visit this page:

For a general nosql comparison, read this blog post:
