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.

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

Widely used RDBMS

A widely used distributed, scalable search engine based on Apache Lucene

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API
