Name

Description

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

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented Transactions

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.
