Name

Description

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

DBMS for storing time series, events and metrics

JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDB

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

optimized for high performance using a special indexing method

Primary database model

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Key-value store

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

with GEO package

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine
