System Properties Comparison Graph Engine vs. Newts vs. Sqrrl vs. ToroDB vs. TypeDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Sqrrl has been acquired by Amazon and became a part of Amazon Web Services. It has been removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

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

Description

A distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra

Adaptable, secure NoSQL built on Apache Accumulo

A MongoDB-compatible JSON document store, built on top of PostgreSQL

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

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Key-value store

Time Series DBMS

Document store
Graph DBMS
