Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Yanza 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

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.

a GPU-based, columnar RDBMS for big data analytics workloads

A hybrid cloud data analytics software platform (Teradata Vantage)
