Name

Description

In-memory caching system

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

Distributed, high-performance timeseries database

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

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

Primary database model

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.
