NameDatomic  Xexclude from comparisonGraph Engine infoformer name: Trinity  Xexclude from comparisonInterSystems Caché  Xexclude from comparisonSQream DB  Xexclude from comparisonTinkerGraph  Xexclude from comparison
Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionDatomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durabilityA distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engineA multi-model DBMS and application servera GPU-based, columnar RDBMS for big data analytics workloadsA lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API
