DescriptionFirebird is an open source RDBMS forked from Borland's InterBaseDBMS for storing time series, events and metricsA Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters infoIt was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDBTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
