Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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.
DescriptionOrdered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.Hawkular metrics is the metric storage of the Red Hat sponsored Hawkular monitoring system. It is based on Cassandra.Based on PostgreSQL enhanced with MPP and write-scale-out cluster featuresFast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQLTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
