Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

A MySQL compatible DBMS with Git-like versioning of data and schema

Data logging and graphing tool for time series data

The storage layer (fixed size database) is called Whisper

Common in IBM host environments, 2 different versions for host and Windows/Linux

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Since Version 10.5 support for JSON/BSON documents compatible with MongoDB

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Secondary database models
