Name

Description

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durability

Real-time database platform that powers real-time analytics and machine learning applications by simultaneously executing low-latency, high-throughput, and highly concurrent workloads.

In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications

Primary database model

Object oriented DBMS

Relational DBMS

Document store
