Name

Description

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

Fast and scalable multi-model DBMS, originally forked from OrientDB but most of the code has been rewritten

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

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

Relational DBMS

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

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store
Time Series DBMS

in next version

Relational DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Key-value store

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
Time Series DBMS

with RedisTimeSeries
Vector DBMS
