Name

JSqlDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

JavaScript Query Language Database, stores JavaScript objects and primitives

MySQL application compatible open source RDBMS, enhanced with high availability, security, interoperability and performance capabilities. MariaDB ColumnStore provides a column-oriented storage engine and MariaDB Xpand supports distributed SQL.

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.

M2M integration platform for persisting/querying time series data
