I’ve just stumbled upon RIAK. It seems like a very cool technology. Almost like an alternative to kubernetes. Has anyone used it in production? Why isn’t it more well known? It seems like an awesome solution.

Riak was one of the OG k/v stores by [basho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basho_Technologies). They were kind of early to the world of distributed k/v stores and flourished quite a lot but ultimately got usurped by the cloud giants.

Why do you think they lost out to cloud with such a head start?
