Name

Description

The EDB Postgres Platform is an enterprise-class data management platform based on the open source database PostgreSQL with flexible deployment options and Oracle compatibility features, complemented by tool kits for management, integration, and migration.

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

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

Open Source Time Series DBMS

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model
