Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Native multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

Widely used open source RDBMS

Distributed, fault tolerant key-value store

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store
Search engine

Key-value store
Vector DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Key-value store

with links between data sets and object tags for the creation of secondary indexes

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
