Name

TempoIQ seems to be decommissioned. It will be removed 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.

Widely used open source RDBMS

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

Cloud-native distributed Vector DBMS that supports storage, retrieval, and management of massive vector-based datasets

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Time Series DBMS

Graph DBMS

Vector DBMS

Secondary database models
