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.

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

Lightweight, fast on-device database for IoT, Mobile and Embedded devices, persisting and synchronising objects and vectors

An enterprise-class RDBMS compatible with high-performance, high-availability and high-performance originally developed by Huawei

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.
