System Properties Comparison Alibaba Cloud Table Store vs. AllegroGraph vs. Hypertable vs. Linter vs. Redis

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Hypertable has stopped its further development with March 2016 and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

High performance, persistent RDF store with additional support for Graph DBMS

An open source BigTable implementation based on distributed file systems such as Hadoop

RDBMS for high security requirements

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.
