Lots of unknown sentiment in that paragraph. Why are you looking for an
alternative technology if you don't even know that your current one is
insufficient?

I would recommend doing some measurements against your system. Creating some
form of stress test for your system will cost you as much as investigating
lots of funky new stuff. And then you will have some actual numbers to
compare and contrast.

Additionally, mnesia very helpfully tells you if it is starting to get
"overloaded".
