Name

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

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

Graph DBMS

Key-value store

Graph DBMS
