Name

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

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.

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
