Name

Description

MaxCompute (previously known as ODPS) is a general purpose, fully managed, multi-tenancy data processing platform for large-scale data warehousing

A fully managed Wide Column Store for large quantities of semi-structured data with real-time access

Hosted, scalable database service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

Converged and high performance database for device data, events, time series, document and graph

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a graph-processing framework is available with the graphs being stored in tables

Wide column store

Document store
Key-value store

Document store
Graph DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS
