Name

Description

Embeddable document-store database library with JSON representation of queries (in MongoDB style)

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

A relational database management system that stores data in columns

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.
