Name

GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

BigchainDB is scalable blockchain database offering decentralization, immutability and native assets

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

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.

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

Primary database model

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

Key-value store

Secondary database models
