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

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

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.

a GPU-based, columnar RDBMS for big data analytics workloads

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Wide column store

Key-value store

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