| Description | Analytic Database platform built on PostgreSQL. Full name is Pivotal Greenplum Database  A logical database in Greenplum is an array of individual PostgreSQL databases working together to present a single database image. | One of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure | 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. | Time Series DBMS and big data platform | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Primary database model | Relational DBMS | Document store | Key-value store Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence | Time Series DBMS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
