Evolution of Riak: resolving problems in distributed systems

This talk will cover some problems of building a distributed system framework: - Mass adoption of scale-out with difficult developer trade-offs is hard to achieve;

• The problems of testing claims of correctness;
• Replication of activity and the impact on throughput, and replication of data can itself be a cause of data loss;
• Non-conformity of performance between nodes is very difficult to manage (one slow node).
