Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

SAP Advantage Database Server seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

DolphinDB is a high performance Time Series DBMS. It is integrated with an easy-to-use fully featured programming language and a high-volume high-velocity streaming analytics system. It offers operational simplicity, scalability, fault tolerance, and concurrency.

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Low-cost RDBMS with access to ISAM and FoxPro data structures

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase
