System Properties Comparison Alibaba Cloud AnalyticDB for MySQL vs. Atos Standard Common Repository vs. FoundationDB vs. MongoDB vs. Postgres-XL

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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.

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.

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.

One of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure

Based on PostgreSQL enhanced with MPP and write-scale-out cluster features
