Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

A scalable, multi-tenant, MPP-architectured RDBMS for OLTP and OLAP operations, highly compatible with Oracle

An embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.

NuoDB is a webscale distributed database that supports SQL and ACID transactions

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.

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

Primary database model

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

Key-value store

Secondary database models
