Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Drizzle has published its last release in September 2012. The open-source project is discontinued and Drizzle is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Yanza seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

MySQL fork with a pluggable micro-kernel and with an emphasis of performance over compatibility.

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDB

Cloud or off-cloud analytical database and query engine for structured and semi-structured streaming and batch data. Machine learning platform with built-in algorithms, data preparation capabilities, and model evaluation and management via SQL or Python.
