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.

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on HBase with integrated rule engine and visualization

Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durability

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.

Primary database model

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Secondary database models

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

with RediSearch
