Name

Description

Scalable, ACID-compliant native distributed parallel graph platform

GridGain is an in-memory computing platform, built on Apache Ignite

RDBMS for high security requirements

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Primary database model

Graph DBMS

Key-value store
Relational DBMS

Relational DBMS
