Screencast: Riak Client Multi-node Connections

The Riak client for Ruby (riak-client) was released a few weeks ago and it includes some really useful features for working with Riak from your Ruby applications.

This second screencast demonstrates the multi-node or “cluster” connection feature in the client, and the effect that has on performance and reliability. Co-starring in this video is Riak Control, Riak 1.1’s new web-based administration tool.
