Name

Description

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.

Widely used RDBMS

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

In-memory, column based data store. Available as appliance or cloud service

A complete, distributed, parallel graph computing platform supporting web-scale data analytics in real-time
