Name

Description

Fast, reliable graph database built for the cloud

An embeddable, in-process, column-oriented SQL OLAP RDBMS

Application development environment with integrated database management system

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.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
RDF store

Relational DBMS

Key-value store

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