Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Drizzle has published its last release in September 2012. The open-source project is discontinued and Drizzle is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Sqrrl has been acquired by Amazon and became a part of Amazon Web Services. It has been removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

MySQL fork with a pluggable micro-kernel and with an emphasis of performance over compatibility.

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

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.

Adaptable, secure NoSQL built on Apache Accumulo

Primary database model

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