Name

Description

A distributed reliable key-value store

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Primary database model

Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS
