Danga Interactive was Brad Fitzpatrick's company (1998 ~ 2007) that developed LiveJournal and by necessity the backend software to drive it all. Danga was sold to Six Apart, LiveJournal was re-sold to SUP, Six Apart was acquired by SAY Media. This domain now exists just for old Danga employees' personal use, and to not break links.
Some of the software born at Danga:

| MogileFS | Distributed (meta) file system. Spray files across cheap disks on your network. Pay less for storage. No proprietary on-disk file formats. |
