Name

Description

Hosted simple database service by Amazon, with the data stored in the Amazon Cloud.

There is an unrelated product called SimpleDB developed by Edward Sciore

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
