System Properties Comparison FoundationDB vs. Hyprcubd vs. mSQL vs. OrigoDB vs. RDF4J

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market.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.

Hyprcubd seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.

Serverless Time Series DBMS

mSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMS

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

Primary database model

Document store

supported via specific layer
Key-value store
Relational DBMS
