System Properties Comparison Blazegraph vs. etcd vs. GeoSpock vs. InterSystems IRIS vs. Oracle

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.
