Name

Description

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

FileMaker is a cross-platform RDBMS that includes a GUI frontend.

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.
