System Properties Comparison Amazon DocumentDB vs. Apache Jena - TDB vs. Oracle Rdb vs. Redis vs. Trafodion

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Apache Trafodion has been retired in 2021. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

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

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.

Transactional SQL-on-Hadoop DBMS

Primary database model

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Relational DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

with RediSearch
Time Series DBMS

with RedisTimeSeries
Vector DBMS
