Name

Description

Fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed MongoDB-compatible database service

An IoT native database with high performance for data management and analysis, deployable on the edge and the cloud and integrated with Hadoop, Spark and Flink

MySQL application compatible open source RDBMS, enhanced with high availability, security, interoperability and performance capabilities. MariaDB ColumnStore provides a column-oriented storage engine and MariaDB Xpand supports distributed SQL.

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Document store

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
