System Properties Comparison Blazegraph vs. InterSystems Caché vs. LokiJS vs. Oracle vs. Transwarp ArgoDB

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.

Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
