Name

Description

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

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

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 GPU-based, columnar RDBMS for big data analytics workloads

A secure RDBMS, designed for easy portability from Oracle
