[ERLANG]: Creating a webclient using Riak and Erlang in back-end

I want to somehow connect my riak database to a website using Erlang. I have some data stored within my database but I can't quite make the connection between the two, to configure the middleware which will enable this to happen. What I have tried so far is following this tutorial

http://buffered.io/posts/webmachine-erlydtl-and-riak-part-1/

which basically uses Webmachine and erlyDTL for this purpose but it seems a bit circumstantial... my question is, is there any simpler way of doing this? Or any proven way that the stackoverflow community knows of? I mean, how do I query things from the riak database to a website? A bit confused on how to go about this.

Solution

  • Whatever webserver you are using, you always can/should use riak-erlang-client. And this is excatly approach that post you mentioned uses.

    Or if you don't really know Erlang you can use any other client basho prvides.
