Name

Description

Open-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality data

A distributed, RESTful modern search and analytics engine based on Apache Lucene

Elasticsearch lets you perform and combine many types of searches such as structured, unstructured, geo, and metric

An enterprise-class RDBMS compatible with high-performance, high-availability and high-performance originally developed by Huawei

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

TypeDB provides developers with an expressive, customizable type system to manage their data using an award-winning query language, TypeQL, while building on a high-performance, distributed architecture.

Primary database model

Relational DBMS
Time Series DBMS
