Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

In-memory caching system

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a hierachical model (tree) can be imposed

Key-value store

Graph DBMS

Key-value store

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
