It doesn't write itself. Mnesia is a distributed database. When you use it you get distribution for free.

I was making a joke ;) However, looking at the scala code it doesn't look like it is written to scale at all. I can't really see any thing in it that indicates it was written in a certain way. Its more a pattern to follow I guess.
