Tangential, but what I appreciate about Elixir/Erlang is that you have ETS out of the box that is basically a key-value store on a lightweight Erlang process (without socket access or network calls) with flexible 'types', and then DETS brings persistence, mnesia adds schemas, queries, transactions, replication and other DBMS-like features... all this and you can use Erlang's actor model to cluster and horizontally scale, or just use it like a simple L1 cache, as described in the article
