Name

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

Description

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

A multi-model, scalable, distributed NoSQL database, designed to provide highly reliable, flexible, and available data management across a configurable set of storage nodes

Based on PostgreSQL enhanced with MPP and write-scale-out cluster features

In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications
