Name

Description

A widely adopted in-memory data grid

Time Series DBMS built at Spotify based on Cassandra or Google Cloud Bigtable, and ElasticSearch

DBMS for storing time series, events and metrics

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.

A secure RDBMS, designed for easy portability from Oracle
