DescriptionAn enterprise grade, high-performance RDBMSFast and scalable multi-model DBMS, originally forked from OrientDB but most of the code has been rewrittenGoogle's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.A containerised multi-model DBMS, interoperability and analytics data platform with wide capabilities for vertical and horizontal scalabilityIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data.
