For Web Applications

Riak addresses the shortcomings in traditional web applications by using a schema-free design that feels more like a structured document with attributes than an inflexible set of rows and columns.

And, when it comes to fault-tolerance and availability, look no further. Web applications running on Riak have no single point of failure and are completely available.

For Mobile Applications

Need a distributed, scalable data store for your mobile application? Look no further.

Riak addresses the need for high-reliability mobile applications with a shared-nothing architecture that provides a platform for scalable, distributed mobile applications. Downtime due to server failures and data schema updates are non-existent with Riak; adding servers to accommodate spikes in mobile users is straightforward and predictable.
