Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

OLTP - DBMS for mainframes and Linux/Unix/Windows environments

used typically together with the Natural programming platform

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

A Java embedded Key-Value Store which extends the Java Map interface

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

DBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.

Primary database model

Multivalue DBMS

Document store
Key-value store

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence
