Interestingly, most of the Ditto folks originally worked on Realm, an object database that eventually monetized into the "sync via a central server" space.

Of course, Realm was later acquired by MongoDB, and currently exists as some kind of Frankenstein's monster product in an attempt to drum up Atlas sales.

Interesting how the acquisition pushed some of the devs to create better tech, but they had to give up the original product along the way.



It’s just my cofounder Adam and I that came from Realm!

We’ve got Alumni from Pusher, Basho/Riak, Walmart Labs, Microsoft, to name a few
