Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

High performance, persistent RDF store with additional support for Graph DBMS

Light-weight proven RDBMS

originally from Borland

Fully vectorized database across both GPUs and CPUs

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.

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Document store

with version 6.5
