System Properties Comparison Amazon Aurora vs. Blazegraph vs. Redis vs. Yaacomo vs. Yanza

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.

Yaacomo seems to be discontinued and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking

Yanza seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible cloud service by Amazon

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

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.

OpenCL based in-memory RDBMS, designed for efficiently utilizing the hardware via parallel computing
