System Properties Comparison AntDB vs. Dgraph vs. eXtremeDB vs. Redis vs. ToroDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

ToroDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

Distributed and scalable native Graph DBMS

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

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.

A MongoDB-compatible JSON document store, built on top of PostgreSQL
