Great article, thanks for that.
I would add two things that might be interested by other readers :
1. Another cool feature is that Erlang processes are isolated from each other. If one process fails, the other are not impacted. In multi-tenant environment such as cloud, it might be interesting.
2. There is now couchbase and riak which are written in Erlang and provide better scalability than mnesia (but relaxing some ACID properties)

Always like to see info on Cloud Computing! Looks like Australians are starting to wake up to it now with Telstra announcing a $500m spend this week on cloud computing services.

@Chris

I was alerted to mnesiaex by archaelus (I think) in #erlang, and this is another nice addition. It’s very exciting to see alternate storage schemes popping up for the unadulterated awesomeness that is Mnesia, as my first really erlang app is targeting webservices and mnesia users.

Thanks for the update, and info!

There is now tokyo cabinet for mnesia:

This allows you to move beyond the ’2GB’ file limit. These guys wrote a C driver to link directly into the high performance tokyo cabinet, and have a wrapper for a storage api using mnesia. this makes it transparent when using mensia.

@Gleb

1. Thank you for clarifying on the 2gb limit, that’s actually really good news for some the projects I have in mind :)

2. Also very important information to have when considering it for a cloud app, I’ll add this as an update to the article when I get a chance.

3. Not sure, I’ll make sure to correct that.

4. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
