System Properties Comparison BigchainDB vs. Qdrant vs. RDF4J vs. Redis vs. ToroDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

ToroDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

A high-performance vector database with neural network or semantic-based matching

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

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.

A MongoDB-compatible JSON document store, built on top of PostgreSQL

Primary database model

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

Document store

Secondary database models

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS
