Name

Description

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

Google's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.

Embeddable relational database for web apps written in pure JavaScript

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Key-value store
Wide column store

Relational DBMS
