Name

Description

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

In-memory caching system

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

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.

Columnar RDBMS optimized for Big Data analytics

Primary database model

RDF store

Key-value store

Key-value store
Vector DBMS

Key-value store

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