Name

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.

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

Enhanced drop-in replacement for MySQL based on XtraDB or TokuDB storage engines with improved performance and additional diagnostic and management features.

High performance Graph DBMS supporting HTAP high availability cluster deployment

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

horizontal partitioning (by key range)

all tables are translated to an ordered KV store and then broken down into 64MB ranges, which are then used as replicas in RAFT

Sharding

Implicit feature of the cloud service

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Multi-source replication using RAFT

Multi-source replication between multi datacenters

yes

Implicit feature of the cloud service

Multi-source replication
Source-replica replication
