History[02]
Gun was built by Mark Nadal in 2014. He spent 4 years researching scaling up his web application, and eventually he found out it was hard with traditional databases or Master-Slave databases because of one big bottleneck, and decided to create Gun, a P2P database which can run on any browsers.
