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

CUBRID is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system with object extensions for OLTP

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.

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV

Cloud-based data warehousing service for structured and semi-structured data

Primary database model
