Name

Description

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

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data

Primary database model

Spatial DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Object oriented DBMS
