Name

Description

Hosted, scalable database service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

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

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

The EDB Postgres Platform is an enterprise-class data management platform based on the open source database PostgreSQL with flexible deployment options and Oracle compatibility features, complemented by tool kits for management, integration, and migration.
