System Properties Comparison Blazegraph vs. GeoSpock vs. H2GIS vs. jBASE vs. TerarkDB

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.

GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be 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.

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

Spatial extension of H2

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDB

Primary database model

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS
