Name

Description

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

A global, low-latency, key-value store for applications on Cloudflare with exceptionally high read volumes and low-latency.

Fauna provides a web-native interface, with support for GraphQL and custom business logic that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the serverless ecosystem. The underlying globally distributed storage and compute platform is fast, consistent, and reliable, with a modern security infrastructure.

Apache Ignite is a memory-centric distributed database, caching, and processing platform for transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads, delivering in-memory speeds at petabyte scale.

One of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure
