Name

Description

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

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

Widely used open source RDBMS

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

Primary database model

Document store

Key-value store
Vector DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Time Series DBMS

Key-value store

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
