Name

Description

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

Multithreaded, transactional RDBMS written in Java

also known as HSQLDB

Open Source Operational and Transactional Enterprise NoSQL Document Database

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS
