Name

Description

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

Time Series DBMS built at Spotify based on Cassandra or Google Cloud Bigtable, and ElasticSearch

RDBMS for high security requirements

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene

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.

Relational DBMS

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

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

Vector DBMS
