Name

Description

BigchainDB is scalable blockchain database offering decentralization, immutability and native assets

High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented Transactions

In-memory JavaScript DBMS

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.

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
