Name

Description

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

High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented Transactions

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Values are user defined objects

Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
