Name

Description

Converged and high performance database for device data, events, time series, document and graph

A high-performance, column-oriented SQL DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP) that uses all available system resources to their full potential to process each analytical query as fast as possible. It is available as both an open-source software and a cloud offering.

JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDB

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

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model
