JavaScript Apps on Riak
summary
Riak stores and serves complete browser apps over HTTP, using PUT/GET/POST/DELETE with content-type metadata and no extra app layer; each node runs embedded SpiderMonkey instances for server-side mapreduce functions, letting the browser poll mapreduce jobs. Demo apps Recon (cluster inspector) and YakRiak (AJAX chat) are served directly from Riak and survive a killed node thanks to replication, and benchmarks show mostly linear throughput from 5 to 14 nodes. No built‑in auth; use a reverse proxy.
