DescriptionA MySQL compatible DBMS with Git-like versioning of data and schemaA distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engineRDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.A time series DBMS optimized for fast ingest and complex queries, based on PostgreSQL
