Name

Description

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on Cassandra

Wide-column store based on ideas of BigTable and DynamoDB

Optimized for write access

Fauna provides a web-native interface, with support for GraphQL and custom business logic that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the serverless ecosystem. The underlying globally distributed storage and compute platform is fast, consistent, and reliable, with a modern security infrastructure.

Multi-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
