Greetings Team Riak, For your perusing this weekend we’ve got a few blog posts to distract you from CNN’s round-the-clock Matthew coverage along with the presumably informative mailing list recap. Stay dry out there...
Are you working on something Riak related? Sharing is caring ;) Let me know what you’re working on and I’ll get your talk, project or blog post in the next Riak Recap. ## Announcements - Craig Vitter writes in opensource.com, “Riak TS for time series analysis at scale” [0], describing his upcoming talk at All Things Open [1]. - Sean Kelly guest blogs on basho.com about pitfalls and misconceptions to watch out for when considering a microservices based architecture [2]. - Basho Engineer Jon Brisbin blogs about Riak on Docker and outlines step by step instruction on how to get up and running in a number of circumstances [3]. For those of you who have expressed interest in Riak on Docker, I encourage you to start with this post. - Viktoria Fordos and Csaba Hoch take us on a harrowing tale of what can go wrong when you’re all deployed and in production and how they reigned it in by using WombatOAM [4] in "Operational nightmare fun: dealing with misconfigured Riak Clusters" [5]. - Tom Sigler & Co. put together the “Riak KV: Operations Intro” course on Basho Academy [6]. - Riak Explorer [7] has been seeing steady improvements. You can now graph Riak stats data gathered from a local instance. - The Ripple project, a modeling layer for Riak in Ruby, has been transferred to its own repo. Those looking to contribute are encouraged to do so there [8]. ## Jobs at Basho Interested in working on distributed computing related problems or helping our community with theirs?
