Description

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

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

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

A concept of libraries, allowing an application program to store and query key-value pairs in a file. Successor of Tokyo Cabinet and Kyoto Cabinet

High-performance distributed SQL database for global, internet-scale applications. Wire and feature compatible with PostgreSQL.
