Name

Description

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

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

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

Widely used open source RDBMS

Distributed In-Memory NewSQL RDBMS

Used for OLTP applications with a high frequency of relatively simple transactions, that can hold all their data in memory

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API
