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.

Embeddable document-store database library with JSON representation of queries (in MongoDB style)

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

A multi-model, scalable, distributed NoSQL database, designed to provide highly reliable, flexible, and available data management across a configurable set of storage nodes

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
