Description

A global, low-latency, key-value store for applications on Cloudflare with exceptionally high read volumes and low-latency.

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

A MySQL compatible DBMS with Git-like versioning of data and schema

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

MySQL application compatible open source RDBMS, enhanced with high availability, security, interoperability and performance capabilities. MariaDB ColumnStore provides a column-oriented storage engine and MariaDB Xpand supports distributed SQL.
