System Properties Comparison Cloudflare Workers KV vs. EXASOL vs. GeoSpock vs. Manticore Search vs. Redis

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be 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.

High-performance, in-memory, MPP database specifically designed for in-memory analytics.

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

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.

Primary database model

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

using the Manticore Columnar Library

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine

with RediSearch
Time Series DBMS

with RedisTimeSeries
Vector DBMS
