DescriptionNative multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.In-memory JavaScript DBMSOperational and transactional Enterprise NoSQL databaseMicrosoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries. infoThe Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)Popular 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.
