System Properties Comparison BigObject vs. Cachelot.io vs. SwayDB vs. Teradata Aster vs. TypeDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Teradata Aster has been integrated into other Teradata systems and therefore will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

In-memory caching system

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

Platform for big data analytics on multistructured data sources and types

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

Relational DBMS

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.
