Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

A real-time data warehousing service that can process petabytes of data with high concurrency and low latency. It is fully compatible with the MySQL protocol.

MaxCompute (previously known as ODPS) is a general purpose, fully managed, multi-tenancy data processing platform for large-scale data warehousing

Open-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality data

Widely used open source RDBMS

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.

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a graph-processing framework is available with the graphs being stored in tables

Relational DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models
