Name

Description

In-memory caching system

An ultra-fast, open source Key-value store fully compatible with Redis API, modules, and protocols

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

The SAP (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is an enterprise-class RDBMS

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

Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
