Eric Redmond
Riak and Erlang
Riak is a highly scalable, highly available, NoSQL key/value database. Riak is also built with Erlang. Riak leverages OTP in many ways, such as separating work into processes, and separating design from implementation through behaviors. Riak also uses Erlang for performing data aggregation (map/reduce), and interacting through the Erlang driver.
