Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

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

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

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.

In-Memory RDBMS compatible to Oracle

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Document store

Key-value store
Vector DBMS

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Relational DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store

with RedisJSON
