Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionOrdered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.Spatial extension of H2A multi-model DBMS and application serverA Wide Column Store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasets
