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 high performance open source SQL database for time series dataEmbeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
