DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesIn-memory caching systemAn ultra-fast, open source Key-value store fully compatible with Redis API, modules, and protocolsAn embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storageTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
Primary database modelRelational DBMS infoa hierachical model (tree) can be imposedKey-value storeKey-value storeKey-value storeGraph DBMS
Relational DBMS infoOften described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
