Here are some suggestions for running the memory backend in production:

1. Since you are running a single node cluster, set your n_val to 1 [1]
2. Make sure you set the max_memory parameter [2] to prevent the node
from OOM'ing.

3. In order to get greater concurrency and throughput with the memory
backend, I suggest increasing your ring_creation_size to 128 or 256.
You might need to test which is more performant on your hardware.

4. Turn anti_entropy off. It will just be unnecessary overhead with
your workload.

5. Make sure your ulimit is raised [3]

6. Apply our recommended system tunings [4]

7. You may need to raise some Erlang resource limits in your vm.args file [5]

Btw, another alternative is to use the leveldb memory-backend impl
(prevents gc/storage overhead from erlang tables). You'll have to patch up
basho's fork of leveldb and include/compile/enable the memory-backend impl
from stock leveldb.
