Name

Description

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

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

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.

Scalable Graph Database platform making enterprise data available by exploiting inferred entities and relationships
