I love Riak. It's become my go to for "this just has to work" (and I actually work on problems that need to scale, not ones I hope will have to scale).

The only improvement you could make to it would be adding some of the fancier bits that make Redis really nice, like sets and lists.

Which datastore is it closer to? Mongo, Redis, Postgres? I haven't looked much into it, but I hear so many good things that maybe I should.

Cassandra. It's an eventually consistent, fully-distributed database, in the Dynamo mold: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/files/amazon-dynamo-sosp...

It's Amazon S3, but without the outrageous per query costs.
