DescriptionCockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durabilityA distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engineOne of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructureTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
