System Properties Comparison Graph Engine vs. Immudb vs. Postgres-XL vs. Redis vs. TempoIQ

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

TempoIQ seems to be decommissioned. It will be removed 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

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

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

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.

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)
