Name

Description

A fast-speed and highly-scalable Graph DBMS

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.

DBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.

A resource-optimized, high-performance, universally applicable RDBMS
