DescriptionA widely adopted Java cache with tiered storage optionsA Java embedded Key-Value Store which extends the Java Map interfaceA distributed, high available RDBMS compatible with Oracle and MySQLQpenQM is a high-performance, self-tuning, multi-value DBMSPopular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments infoRedis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
