Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.

Description

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

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

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.

Titan is a Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters.
