Name

Description

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

JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDB

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 resource-optimized, high-performance, universally applicable RDBMS

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
