DescriptionNative multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.An embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented TransactionsA high performance open source SQL database for time series dataPopular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments infoRedis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
