5 Common Use Cases: How to Extract Maximum Value from CDNs
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) can provide solutions to many business challenges. This white paper describes how to extract maximum value of a CDN via five common use cases. Apart from deploying it as an “always-on” solution, some enterprises have found it beneficial to use it on demand, or integrate it as part of a multi-CDN strategy that makes their networks a failsafe…
Speed Matters
Studies have shown that site speed is key to user experience and search ranking. Site visitors and search engines prefer fast websites and show little tolerance to slow ones. This paper explores the impacts load times have on site visitors, the benefits of faster sites, and how CDN can serve as a solution to increase website performance, SEO and conversions…

Technical Overview
This technical brief is an introduction to the Basho Riak CS, covering Riak CS architecture, APIs, and operations.
From Relational to Riak
This technical brief provides both background and detailed information on moving from a relational database to a NoSQL database like Riak. We begin by examining commonly cited reasons for choosing Riak over a relational database, and then analyze the decision points to be considered when choosing a non-relational solution. Finally, we end with simple patterns for building common applications in Riak.
