System Properties Comparison Apache IoTDB vs. ArcadeDB vs. Drizzle vs. FoundationDB vs. Riak TS

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Drizzle has published its last release in September 2012. The open-source project is discontinued and Drizzle is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.

Description

An IoT native database with high performance for data management and analysis, deployable on the edge and the cloud and integrated with Hadoop, Spark and Flink

Fast and scalable multi-model DBMS, originally forked from OrientDB but most of the code has been rewritten

MySQL fork with a pluggable micro-kernel and with an emphasis of performance over compatibility.

Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV
