Name

Description

Realtime distributed OLAP datastore, designed to answer OLAP queries with low latency

Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durability

Fauna provides a web-native interface, with support for GraphQL and custom business logic that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the serverless ecosystem. The underlying globally distributed storage and compute platform is fast, consistent, and reliable, with a modern security infrastructure.

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.
