Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Scalable GPU-accelerated RDBMS for very fast analytic and streaming workloads, leveraging PostgreSQL

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

Data logging and graphing tool for time series data

The storage layer (fixed size database) is called Whisper

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.

Port of SQLite to JavaScript
