BerkeleyDB is great. I'm honestly surprised it doesn't see more use. It's right in the sweet spot for software that doesn't quite need a relational model, and that seems to be a lot of software.

Check out lmdb for a better alternative to it.

Yup, and we used to have FoundationDB, sadly not any more, but don't get me started on that.
Still there are plenty of highly distributed stores to go around, and it's good to know that people are actively using them with great success.
It's very nice to have fine control over consistency vs performance even if you do have to think about it as a developer, but then that's our job :-)
