  Personally, I use Couchbase for this kind of stuff. Make a Membase (memcached) bucket and all the data is in RAM. Its easy to persist of course, by putting data in a Couchbase bucket as well.

    Another cheap solution would be to use Erlang's mnesia with purely ets-backed copies on nodes.

  Very cool. I wrote up an idea for a "cheap" ram file server a few years ago, but I never got to test it thoroughly. http://www.bashedupbits.com/2010/03/ram-storage-server.html?m=1 http://www.bashedupbits.com/2010/03/ram-storage-server.html?...
