A distributed database with global consistency, which is a new category. FaunaDB (and similar databases) allows a distributed ledger among trusted parties to be “just a database application.”
Great. Just take the word blockchain out of the article, it adds nothing but confusion.
I disagree, with the number of people pushing blockchain when they just want a distributed ledger, an article like this is quite helpful.
So you're telling me... it's a distributed database? Global consistency is nothing new.
