Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible cloud service by Amazon

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

Embeddable fast key-value storage library that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values

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 general purpose database with bitemporal SQL and Datalog and graph queries

Primary database model
