System Properties Comparison Cubrid vs. Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB vs. Redis vs. Teradata vs. Trafodion

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Apache Trafodion has been retired in 2021. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

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.

A hybrid cloud data analytics software platform (Teradata Vantage)
