As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.
DescriptionMySQL fork with a pluggable micro-kernel and with an emphasis of performance over compatibility.Industrial-strength, open-source database solution built from the ground up for event sourcing.Ordered key-value store.
