 There are many background processes (some services, some run run as cronjobs) which query the Postgresql database server in order to extract data sets, potentially very large.  These extracted data sets are stored in Riak. After the data sets are stored in the Riak system, there are several reporting / aggregating (long running) processes which load the data sets from Riak. The processes compute their results and then store them back in Riak either for further processing or for retrieval. Riak keys for the results are sent to the Postgresql system thus linking the Riak result sets with the Entities they are related to in Postgresql."

+[[DigiTar|http://digitar.com/]] is a messaging and web security company based in Boise, Idaho.  DigiTar services enhance existing messaging and web systems with next-generation feature sets, through state-of-the-art technology development.
+
+*From COO/CTO Jason Williams* : When we started in 2004, there weren't any open-source datastores that had built-in fault-tolerance or clustering that didn't involve some form of shared storage infrastructure.  This necessitated building our own homegrown partitioning and failover mechanisms to provide the reliability of a shared-nothing architecture. However, this approach has required a significant commitment to maintaining these solutions and keeping them working with the latest versions of MySQL. 
+
+By basing all of our new services and APIs on Riak, we've been able to focus our energies on the features our customers want, instead of keeping the infrastructure under them available. Our customers rely on us to keep their businesses functioning 24/7...and Riak has made it possible to do that without custom clustering solutions and black magic.
+
+Riak has allowed us to focus on what we love to do - building awesome services for our customers - and less time on making the datastore behind those services always available."
