System Properties Comparison Badger vs. BigchainDB vs. Blazegraph vs. Drizzle vs. Hyprcubd

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.

Drizzle has published its last release in September 2012. The open-source project is discontinued and Drizzle is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Hyprcubd seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

An embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.

BigchainDB is scalable blockchain database offering decentralization, immutability and native assets

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

MySQL fork with a pluggable micro-kernel and with an emphasis of performance over compatibility.
