System Properties Comparison AgensGraph vs. Amazon CloudSearch vs. Hypertable vs. OrigoDB vs. Redis

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Hypertable has stopped its further development with March 2016 and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Multi-model database supporting relational and graph data models and built upon PostgreSQL

A hosted search engine service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

An open source BigTable implementation based on distributed file systems such as Hadoop

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

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
