Name

IRONdb seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.

Data logging and graphing tool for time series data

The storage layer (fixed size database) is called Whisper

A distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicity

TypeDB provides developers with an expressive, customizable type system to manage their data using an award-winning query language, TypeQL, while building on a high-performance, distributed architecture.

Primary database model

Spatial DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Graph DBMS

The type-theoretic data model of TypeDB subsumes the graph database model.
Object oriented DBMS

The data model of TypeDB comprises object-oriented features such as class inheritance and interfaces.
Relational DBMS

The type-theoretic data model of TypeDB subsumes the relational database model.
