Name

Description

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

DataStax Enterprise (DSE) is the always-on, scalable data platform built on Apache Cassandra and designed for hybrid Cloud. DSE integrates graph, search, analytics, administration, developer tooling, and monitoring into a unified platform.

Embeddable document-store database library with JSON representation of queries (in MongoDB style)

In-Memory RDBMS compatible to Oracle

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

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Wide column store

Document store

Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

Document store
Graph DBMS
Spatial DBMS
Search engine
Vector DBMS
