Yes. We have several database backends, e.g. src/db_ets.erl (ets) and src/db_toke (tokyocabinet). The former uses the main memory for storing data, while the latter uses tokyocabinet for storing data on disk. With tokycoabinet, only your local disks should limit the total size of your database. Note however, that this still does not provide persistency. For instructions on switching the database backend to tokyocabinet see Tokyocabinet.
