Name

Description

Distributed and scalable native Graph DBMS

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

Scalable Graph Database platform making enterprise data available by exploiting inferred entities and relationships

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Document store
RDF store

Document store
Key-value store
Spatial DBMS
Search engine
Time Series DBMS
Wide column store
