DescriptionConverged and high performance database for device data, events, time series, document and graphAn embedded key-value store for Go.dBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.Time Series DBMS built at Spotify based on Cassandra or Google Cloud Bigtable, and ElasticSearchTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
