Description

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

Widely used RDBMS

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

MySQL wire-compliant distributed RDBMS that combines an in-memory row-oriented and a disc-based column-oriented storage with patented universal storage to handle transactional and analytical workloads in one single table type

A key-value store forked from RocksDB with advanced compression algorithms. It can be used standalone or as a storage engine for MySQL and MongoDB
