System Properties Comparison Atos Standard Common Repository vs. Faircom DB vs. FoundationDB vs. Redis vs. SQream DB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

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

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

a GPU-based, columnar RDBMS for big data analytics workloads
