DescriptionNative multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.A Java embedded Key-Value Store which extends the Java Map interfacePopular 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.RDBMS database and synchronization technologies for server, desktop, remote office, and mobile environmentsSpark SQL is a component on top of 'Spark Core' for structured data processing
