Are there any production data stores recommended for low memory usage? What should I use to stream data to disk and back with minimal overhead, preferably with indexed lookups?

An SSD with the highest random-read/write IOPS you can afford. Something like this:

Or FusionIO ioDrive2 Duo, which is above 900K IOPS for both reads and writes.
