Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

An MPP-based analytics DBMS embracing the MySQL protocol

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Embeddable relational database for web apps written in pure JavaScript

Widely used open source RDBMS

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.

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Key-value store

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

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

with RediSearch
Time Series DBMS

with RedisTimeSeries
Vector DBMS
