GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Flash-optimized In-memory NoSQL Database

FairCom EDGE is an Industry 4.0 solution built to integrate, collect, aggregate and synchronize mission-critical data in edge computing environments

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

A multi-model, scalable, distributed NoSQL database, designed to provide highly reliable, flexible, and available data management across a configurable set of storage nodes

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.
