Erlang for abstraction and C for performance sounds cool. I'd be interested in how much (or whether) you are using C++ (vs C). I hope you'll address that in your write up.

ep-engine (the core of membase and what handles all of the data moving around between networks, memory and disks) is almost entirely C++.

Are you using any C++ libraries for the networking stuff or plain OS specific socket APIs?

The networking stuff is the memcached engine branch. It's pure C and loads ep-engine as a module for doing all the backend junk.
