Name

Description

Scalable in-memory time series database optimized for IoT and Big Data

One of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure

An open source distributed Time Series DBMS with high concurrency, high performance, and high scalability

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.

Primary database model

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Secondary database models
