System Properties Comparison Apache Doris vs. Microsoft Azure SQL Database vs. ObjectBox vs. RDF4J vs. Redis

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

An MPP-based analytics DBMS embracing the MySQL protocol

Database as a Service offering with high compatibility to Microsoft SQL Server

Extremely fast embedded database for small devices, IoT and Mobile

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

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

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

Secondary database models

Document store
Graph DBMS
Spatial DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

with RediSearch
Time Series DBMS

with RedisTimeSeries
Vector DBMS
