Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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.GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.
DescriptionOrdered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scaleEnterprise-ready RDF and graph database with efficient reasoning, cluster and external index synchronization support. It supports also SQL JDBC access to Knowledge Graph and GraphQL over SPARQL.Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applicationsOpen Source Operational and Transactional Enterprise NoSQL Document Database
