Name

Description

High-performance, in-memory, MPP database specifically designed for in-memory analytics.

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Distributed In-Memory NewSQL RDBMS

Used for OLTP applications with a high frequency of relatively simple transactions, that can hold all their data in memory

Primary database model

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

using the Manticore Columnar Library
