Name

Description

Automatically scaling NoSQL Database as a Service (DBaaS) on the Google Cloud Platform

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

Key-Value Store with special method for indexing

optimized for high performance using a special indexing method

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

Primary database model

Document store

Time Series 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.
