Description

JavaScript DBMS library

Converged and high performance database for device data, events, time series, document and graph

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

Primary database model

Document store
Relational DBMS
