Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

A complete real-time data logging service that supports collection, consumption, shipping, search, and analysis of logs.

High performance, persistent RDF store with additional support for Graph DBMS

Wide-column store based on ideas of BigTable and DynamoDB

Optimized for write access

CUBRID is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system with object extensions for OLTP

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.
