Name

Hyprcubd seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

A distributed document store with integrated cache, a powerful search engine, in-built operational and analytical capabilities, and an embedded mobile database

Serverless Time Series DBMS

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

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.

Primary database model

Secondary database models

Key-value store

originating from the former Membase product and supporting the Memcached protocol
Spatial DBMS

using the Geocouch extension
Search engine
Time Series DBMS
Vector DBMS
