Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.Apache Trafodion has been retired in 2021. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionJavaScript DBMS libraryOrdered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2Transactional SQL-on-Hadoop DBMSWakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
