Name

Description

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

Wide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTable

Widely used open source RDBMS

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

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

Wide column store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
