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

A high performant, light-weight, embedded key-value database library

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)

MultiValue database and application server with SQL mapping layer and meta database capabilities

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Key-value store
