Name

Description

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

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

Spatial extension of H2

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 lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

Primary database model
