I'm currently running six Riak nodes on EC2 small instances behind an ELB.
This works fine for us - although when running a large map reduce task we
connect directly to a single node rather than routing through the ELB. I
don't have any actual performance statistics to hand, but I could get some
if
I wonder what happens if one would run a Riak cluster on 5/10/15+ EC2 micro (or
small) Linux machines behind Elastic Load Balance? Do you think it would
perform well enough for a web site with moderate traffic. Idea is having many
many "small" machines rather than couple of "big" machines.

Matt,
Haproxy is my load balancer of choice. You can always run multiple copies of
haproxy and use some type of dynamic dns with it.
We do this in many cases. Haproxy scales well. I've seen a single node sustain
multiple gigabits per second with almost no sweat.
Thanks.

We're running smoothly behind nginx in a round robin config. One thing
to remember is eventual consistency... So, if you have two very quick
serial operations, one dependent on the results of the other, be sure
to make sure both requests are hitting the same node. Also, it was
necessary to bypass t
r the same. It may be overkill but it was an easy way to control where reads/writes came from.

This was mentioned in the book, "Scalable Internet Architectures" I haven't
used it but it may be worth a look:

If your running multiple clients use an LB on each and do failover if the
local lb is down.

I use the Amazon Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) on my ec2 riak cluster. I
understand the concerns of LB fail, but for me, using Riak is largely about
ease of use. Easy to deploy, grow, shrink, replace, etc. Using an the ELB

This is almost exactly what we do with our riak clusters (as well as actually
all our subclusters). It's actually nice for developer because when they
need to talk to a network service they just reference 127.0.0.1 and some
port, and haproxy gets them to the right place. This also allows an

Another typical setup is to have each client node have its own haproxy, and
when Riak nodes are added or removed (not a common occurrence, mind you), a
configuration management tool like Chef/Puppet/cfengine/etc can adjust the
config and signal the process to reload it (I think it's `kill -HUP`). T

It has been done before. there are various results when searching

Dear list,
Does anyone have an opinion on the concept of putting a Riak cluster behind
a load balancer?
We wish to be able to automatically add/remove nodes from the cluster, so
adding an extra layer at the front is desirable. We should also benefit for
incoming requests behind shared across all
