Name

Yanza 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.

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

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.
