San Francisco Riak Meetup

San Francisco Riak Meetup - September Edition

Engine Yard

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend the inaugural meetup! It was a huge success and we were extremely excited with the turnout and level of discussion.

Here are the details on the second installment:

7:15 - Riak Basics

After the first meetup, John McPhaul Jr. said, "Good, but looking for some basics and some hands on demo as well." Admittedly, this is something we could have addressed a bit more. So at the beginning of this meetup (as well as all meetups moving forward) we are going to devote at least 15 minutes to discuss Riak basics. There are no stupid questions. Ask away.

7:30 - Riak vs Git: NOSQL Battle Royale

Presenter: Rick Olson, Github

This talk will compare and contrast Riak and Git on their merits as key/value stores, and look at how the two can work together.

8:00 - From Riak to RabbitMQ

Presenter: Andy Gross, Basho Technologies

This will cover using Riak to publish to RabbitMQ using features like Post-Commit Hooks.

8:30 - General Riak/Distributed Systems Conversation and Networking

RSVP and mark your calendars.

Very interesting topics.
Like Mark said, it'd be better if more one to one conversations are.
How about adding graphical slides in pitches? It'd be helpful to understand as notions related to database are sometimes a bit abstract. (It's easy to say, though..)

Great content, but the talks were a little long. Can't wait for the next one!

I worked at 4th & Folsom for a couple years. There's no safety issues imo @ 8:30 PM. It's about 10 to 15 min walk from BART depending on your pace.

Hey Anand,

I'll look into having the meetup at someplace outside SFO proper in the near future. Feel free to send me any ideas for locations to [masked]. I would be interested in hearing them.

Uhh, 500 Third St. is only 4 blocks from the BART Powell station. How much closer do you want it to be?

Hey Andy -

Yes. But NDAs are real, so, unfortunately I can't offer any names.

Hope to see you at the meetup.

Is there a production install larger than Mochi? 20 million keys (as I recall) doesn't seem like a lot of data ...
