Who would this be for in 2024?

I remember evaluating Riak back in 2011 or so for an analytics solution, but ended up going with a more traditional OLAP database that was a much better option.

It's hard for me to imagine where Riak would be a good option given how many choices we have today for various data stores.

It is a fault tolerant massively scalable key value store capable of handling hundreds of terabytes of data.

What are these options you are thinking of?

The only thing that comes to my mind is Aerospike and possibly ScyllaDB.

If cloud is an option, DynamoDB?
