RAIN (Reliable Array of Independent Nodes) technology was developed to address problems with single points of failure and bottlenecks on the internet. It distributes data storage and processing across multiple independent nodes to improve reliability and performance. Key aspects of RAIN technology include distributed data storage that can recover data even if some nodes fail, redundant network connections between nodes, and automatic recovery of applications if a node fails. It aims to minimize the number of nodes between clients and servers and make existing nodes more robust.
