System Properties Comparison AnzoGraph DB vs. Databricks vs. Datomic vs. IRONdb vs. RocksDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

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

Description

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

The Databricks Lakehouse Platform combines elements of data lakes and data warehouses to provide a unified view onto structured and unstructured data. It is based on Apache Spark.

Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durability

A distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicity

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

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
RDF store

Document store
