Name

Description

AI-powered hosted search, recommendation and personalization platform providing tools for both low-code and full-code development

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Cloud-hosted realtime document store. iOS, Android, and JavaScript clients share one Realtime Database instance and automatically receive updates with the newest data.

Widely used open source RDBMS

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data

Primary database model

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Object oriented DBMS

Secondary database models

Graph DBMS

Document store
Spatial DBMS
