Name

Description

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

An embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.

Distributed Event Store optimized for Internet of Things use cases

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service
