Description

Fast, reliable graph database built for the cloud

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

MySQL wire-compliant distributed RDBMS that combines an in-memory row-oriented and a disc-based column-oriented storage with patented universal storage to handle transactional and analytical workloads in one single table type

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
