Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.
DescriptionFast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed MongoDB-compatible database serviceOrdered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scaleMulti-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)DBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.
