Name

Description

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on Cassandra

A global, low-latency, key-value store for applications on Cloudflare with exceptionally high read volumes and low-latency.

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

A high-performance distributed database management system with features such as automatic sharding, intelligent operation and maintenance, elastic scalability without downtime, and enterprise-grade security. It is highly compatible with MySQL.
