Introduction to Coding with Riak: Rapid Prototyping to Scaling

[Update! We had to move this to 3/18 to help out our hosts. Please make sure you have it on your calendar for Wednesday!]

Hi Riakators!

Code + Good Food + Beer = Happiness (RSVP so we have the right amount of each)

Welcome back to the Boston Riak group. I'm excited to focus our energy on a particularly interesting portion of developing distributed systems:

• Where do NoSQL technologies fit into my system architecture?

• What’s different about coding with Riak vs relational databases?

• How does it fit into trends like Big Data & IoT from a design perspective?

This event focuses on getting familiar with coding and we have me (Twitter (http://twitter.com/mjbrender)|GitHub (http://github.com/mjbrender)) walking you through some starting points:

• Where does Riak fit into the NoSQL world?

• What are the strengths of Riak?

• How do I get started using it?

• Is it good for rapid prototyping?

• How well does it grow into production?

Come by our awesome hosts at Bit.ly with your laptops to follow along or just join to learn a bit more about how your peers are designing distributed systems to scale databases from dev to prod.

If you have any questions beforehand, you can always ping me (http://www.twitter.com/mjbrender) on Twitter.

Thanks,
