Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Drizzle has published its last release in September 2012. The open-source project is discontinued and Drizzle is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Yanza seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

CockroachDB 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.

MySQL fork with a pluggable micro-kernel and with an emphasis of performance over compatibility.

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDB
