Name

Description

Scalable, ACID-compliant native distributed parallel graph platform

Apache Ignite is a memory-centric distributed database, caching, and processing platform for transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads, delivering in-memory speeds at petabyte scale.

Operational and transactional Enterprise NoSQL database

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

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

Document store
Native XML DBMS
RDF store

as of version 7
Search engine
