DescriptionDistributed Database based on LuceneA fast-speed and highly-scalable Graph DBMSEmbeddable relational database for web apps written in pure JavaScriptRiak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KVIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
