System Properties Comparison ArcadeDB vs. FoundationDB vs. GridGain vs. H2 vs. WakandaDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.

Description

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

Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.

GridGain is an in-memory computing platform, built on Apache Ignite

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
