Name

Description

In-memory caching system

A drop-in Redis replacement that scales vertically to support millions of operations per second and terabyte sized workloads, all on a single instance

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

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Key-value store

Spatial DBMS

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
