Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

Fully vectorized database across both GPUs and CPUs

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Key-value store

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Relational DBMS

Spatial DBMS
Time Series DBMS
