Name

Description

An enterprise grade, high-performance RDBMS

A hosted search engine service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

Open Source Operational and Transactional Enterprise NoSQL Document Database

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.

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL

Primary database model

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