Description

In-memory caching system

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.

Key-Value Store with special method for indexing

optimized for high performance using a special indexing method

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
