[Baypiggies] request for opinions re python-web server-database

[Bryce]

At work I've been working on django site that uses Riak as a back end 
for counters and time series data. Even though its recommended to run in 
a cluster of at least 5 for "production" (And I would say at least 3 
nodes for serious things). I've been able to get away with a single node 
and its been rock solid. Just make sure its a "strong" server with 
plenty of disk space and you'll be good.

Basho, the company that makes and open sources Riak, is in charge of the 
python driver and the documentation is decent.

Hopefully this helps.
