Name

Description

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

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

Embeddable relational database for web apps written in pure JavaScript

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
