Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Scalable graph database built for online analytics and data harmonization with MPP scaling, high-performance analytical algorithms and reasoning, and virtualization

Analytic DBMS for Hadoop

A global, low-latency, key-value store for applications on Cloudflare with exceptionally high read volumes and low-latency.

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.

SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments
