Name

Description

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

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

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