System Properties Comparison Cubrid vs. FoundationDB vs. Geode vs. Memgraph vs. MySQL

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.

Description

CUBRID is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system with object extensions for OLTP

Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j
