Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

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.

JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDB

Distributed, high-performance timeseries database

RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into an application or used as a database server

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

Document store

Time Series DBMS
