Name

Description

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

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

In-memory key-value store, originally intended for caching

Source-replica replication

Multi-source replication using RAFT

none

Repcached, a Memcached patch, provides this functionallity

Multi-source replication
Source-replica replication
