Name

Description

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

Multi-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)

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.

A widely used distributed, scalable search engine based on Apache Lucene
