Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.
DescriptionIn-memory caching systemOrdered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.An ultra-fast, open source Key-value store fully compatible with Redis API, modules, and protocolsTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
