Name

GeoSpock seems to be discontinued. Therefore it will be excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene

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.

In-Memory RDBMS compatible to Oracle

Primary database model
