System Properties Comparison Blazegraph vs. CockroachDB vs. MySQL vs. TempoIQ vs. Yanza

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.

TempoIQ seems to be decommissioned. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

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

Description

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

Widely used open source RDBMS

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)

Time Series DBMS for IoT Applications

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
RDF store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Time Series DBMS
