Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Yaacomo seems to be discontinued and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking

Description

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

Scalable, High-performance Time Series DBMS designed for Real-time Analytics on top of Kubernetes

NuoDB is a webscale distributed database that supports SQL and ACID transactions

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.

OpenCL based in-memory RDBMS, designed for efficiently utilizing the hardware via parallel computing
