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

High performance Time Series DBMS

A drop-in replacement for MongoDB Community Edition with enterprise-grade features.

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.

Primary database model

Multivalue DBMS

Document store
Key-value store

Time Series DBMS
Vector DBMS

Document store

Key-value store

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