Name

Description

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

A global, low-latency, key-value store for applications on Cloudflare with exceptionally high read volumes and low-latency.

Fully managed big data interactive analytics platform

Widely used open source RDBMS

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Key-value store

Relational DBMS

column oriented

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

Document store

If a column is of type dynamic docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/query/scalar-data-types/dynamic then it's possible to add arbitrary JSON documents in this cell
Event Store

this is the general usage pattern at Microsoft. Billing, Logs, Telemetry events are stored in ADX and the state of an individual entity is defined by the arg_max(timestamps)
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

support for complex search expressions docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/query/parseoperator FTS, Geospatial docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kusto/query/geo-point-to-geohash-function distributed search -> ADX acts as a distributed search engine
Time Series DBMS
