Name

Description

Schema-free SQL Query Engine for Hadoop, NoSQL and Cloud Storage

data warehouse software for querying and managing large distributed datasets, built on Hadoop

Edge Time Series DBMS with Real-Time Stream Processing

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.

A concept of libraries, allowing an application program to store and query key-value pairs in a file. Successor of Tokyo Cabinet and Kyoto Cabinet
