System Properties Comparison Alibaba Cloud AnalyticDB for MySQL vs. Brytlyt vs. Graph Engine vs. Redis vs. VelocityDB

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.

Scalable GPU-accelerated RDBMS for very fast analytic and streaming workloads, leveraging PostgreSQL

A distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine

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 .NET Object Database that can be embedded/distributed and extended to a graph data model (VelocityGraph)
