Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionA distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engineA multi-model DBMS and application serverBased on PostgreSQL enhanced with MPP and write-scale-out cluster featuresIn-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applicationsA .NET Object Database that can be embedded/distributed and extended to a graph data model (VelocityGraph)
