Name

Description

Google's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.

mSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMS

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

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.

Key-Value Store with special method for indexing

optimized for high performance using a special indexing method

Primary database model

Key-value store
Wide column store

Relational DBMS
