Riak Core
Riak Core is the distributed systems framework that forms the basis of how Riak distributes data and scales. More generally, it can be thought of as a toolkit for building distributed, scalable, fault-tolerant applications.
For some introductory reading on Riak Core (that’s not pure code), there’s an old but still valuable blog post on the Basho Blog that’s well worth your time.
