Description

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

A Wide Column Store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasets

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.
