Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.

Description

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

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

Fauna provides a web-native interface, with support for GraphQL and custom business logic that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the serverless ecosystem. The underlying globally distributed storage and compute platform is fast, consistent, and reliable, with a modern security infrastructure.

A distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine
