Name

ToroDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

An online MPP (Massively Parallel Processing) data warehousing service based on Greenplum

Open Source Operational and Transactional Enterprise NoSQL Document Database

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

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.

A MongoDB-compatible JSON document store, built on top of PostgreSQL
