Name

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

Widely used RDBMS

An embeddable, high performance key-value store optimized for write-intensive workloads, which can be used as a drop-in replacement for RocksDB

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

Primary database model
