Riak is a distributed database that provides features like 100% uptime, infinite scalability, fault tolerance and low latency. It uses a tunable Consistency-Availability-Partition tolerance (CAP) model and works well with Python. The Python client makes it simple to connect to Riak, create and store objects in buckets, and retrieve data. Riak is suitable for applications that need horizontal scaling and strong consistency for huge datasets, while remaining easy to develop and operate.
