Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

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

BigchainDB is scalable blockchain database offering decentralization, immutability and native assets

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

In-memory JavaScript DBMS

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.

Primary database model

RDF store

Document store

Relational DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Document store

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence
