Name

Description

Fast and scalable multi-model DBMS, originally forked from OrientDB but most of the code has been rewritten

In-memory caching system

A distributed document store with integrated cache, a powerful search engine, in-built operational and analytical capabilities, and an embedded mobile database

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store
Time Series DBMS

in next version

Key-value store

Document store

Key-value store

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Key-value store

originating from the former Membase product and supporting the Memcached protocol
Spatial DBMS

using the Geocouch extension
Search engine
Time Series DBMS
Vector DBMS
