Description

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on Cassandra

Scalable in-memory time series database optimized for IoT and Big Data

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.

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

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