Betting on Riak – bet365’s acquisition and its consequences for the product

Last week, bet365 announced to give away enterprise version of Riak NoSQL database to the open source community and continue the development of the product.

Andrew Deane, bet365’s systems development manager for middleware, said: “At bet365 we have a large development team dedicated to Riak,” adding that it is used in different parts of the bet365 platform (its bet placement system data issues are resolved by Riak for instance). What does it mean for other operators and companies like NHS using Riak for their mission critical applications?

Erlang Solutions, the biggest Erlang & Elixir consultancy, is pleased to announce a global partnership with TI Tokyo to provide enterprise grade support to users of the Riak suite of products. We offer a range of subscription support options (including 24/7 enterprise-grade) along with expert Riak and Erlang consulting services.

“We also work very closely with bet365 and Riak community to ensure the continued product development and long term success.“
