Description

A scale-out RDBMS with evolutionary schema built on Apache HBase

An in-memory DBMS combining transactional and analytical processing to handle the aggregation of ever-changing data.

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service
