Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

A distributed, RESTful modern search and analytics engine based on Apache Lucene

Elasticsearch lets you perform and combine many types of searches such as structured, unstructured, geo, and metric

High performance in-memory data grid platform, powering three products: Smart Cache, Smart ODS (Operational Data Store), Smart Augmented Transactions

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Search engine

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Values are user defined objects

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
Vector DBMS
