Name

Description

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

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

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.

RDBMS database and synchronization technologies for server, desktop, remote office, and mobile environments

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase
