Name

Description

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

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

A drop-in Redis replacement that scales vertically to support millions of operations per second and terabyte sized workloads, all on a single instance

Widely used open source RDBMS
