Name

Description

An in-memory DBMS combining transactional and analytical processing to handle the aggregation of ever-changing data.

Fauna provides a web-native interface, with support for GraphQL and custom business logic that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the serverless ecosystem. The underlying globally distributed storage and compute platform is fast, consistent, and reliable, with a modern security infrastructure.

A Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters

It was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017
