I've been meaning to try ActorDB out for a while now to see how well it performs on large data sets. IIRC, the basic premise is that every actor is a sqlite instance which causes some interesting limitations that might even have more interesting workarounds.
Is it in fact sqlite? Is it erlang? What kind of network is required between nodes? Can I encrypt it via e.g. autossh on a particular port on cloud instances outside of an Amazon-style VPC?
encryption of communication is high on the feature priority list. It is erlang and sqlite. Why sqlite and more on how it works is explained in the documentation. Network should be within the same datacenter.
