Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

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

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

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.

In-memory, column based data store. Available as appliance or cloud service

YTsaurus is an open source platform for distributed storage and processing.

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

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

Time Series DBMS

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence
