In case anyone else is wondering why the article is linked to LinkedIn, Jay Kreps, co-founder/CEO was previously with LinkedIn. LinkedIn is also an investor of Confluence.

I doubt anybody is wondering that. The very first section is titled "Origin at LinkedIn."

It is surprising how long it has taken for the common practice of databases to be distributed. I'm glad that people are starting to move in that direction, and open source their work. This is a win for our industry overall.

We're working on a database/cache/messaging system too, http://github.com/amark/gun it is dedicated to removing the pain I and other Javascript/NodeJS developers had when it came to managing/debugging databases (devops and sysadmin work is frustrating).
