DescriptionDBMS for storing time series, events and metricsAn enterprise-class RDBMS compatible with PostgreSQL and Oracle and widely used in China.An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4jMicrosoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries. infoThe Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments infoRedis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
