Riak, a versatile database, has been widely utilized by various teams within organizations for a range of purposes. Users have found it extremely valuable in migrating applications from data centers to the cloud, thanks to its ability to write data that is replicated in the cloud for service lookups. Additionally, Riak's unique feature of linking objects in the database has proven instrumental in constructing hierarchical trees of documents that represent important student administrative and testing data. It serves as a foundation for the operational data store's data model and plays a pivotal role as the backend for the weekly build cycle, which processes massive amounts of data for millions of industrial parts every week. Users have also leveraged Riak's capability to simultaneously feed metadata about each item, which ensures a reliable picture of what the front-end should look like and aids in purging old data. Furthermore, Riak serves as the main database for various web applications such as storage of generated daily merchant statements and for products like the Dittach Platform, where it stores information on all objects and documents managed within the environment. One of the key factors behind choosing Riak is its high availability, scalability, and built-in Apache SOLR for fast searching and indexing, which further enhances its suitability across different use cases.

- Great ROI, has helped us generate significant revenue.
- Low support costs as it hardly ever has any problems once correctly set up.
- The only issue we had in so far was one development cluster overheating and periodically shutting down when its cooling system failed but that's a hardware issue, not a software one.
- Riak has had a positive impact in the fact that it is still a very fast data store and can scale very well over time.
- Riak has had a negative impact as it is one of the most expensive pieces of our architecture.
- Riak's SOLR engine failed us at a critical moment which seriously hurt the company. Our use case is very different than the norm, so I don't expect this to affect most people.

Great product and fast, beware of deletes!
- It provided a solution for use to securely write data to the cloud. This has been instrumental in allowing us to move more applications to the cloud. Writes are performed behind firewalls and then replicated to the cloud for application consumption. By moving more applications to the cloud, we free up internal resources and can serve information in a much more scalable and reliable way.
