Name

Description

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

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

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.

Port of SQLite to JavaScript

A hybrid cloud data analytics software platform (Teradata Vantage)
