DescriptionAn embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.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.Time Series DBMS built at Spotify based on Cassandra or Google Cloud Bigtable, and ElasticSearchA distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicityTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
