Name

Description

Large scale data warehouse service with append-only tables

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

DBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.

A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDB

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