Description

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

Embeddable document-store database library with JSON representation of queries (in MongoDB style)

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

A distributed, linear scalable, high perfomant Graph DBMS

A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDB
