Name

Description

DBMS for storing time series, events and metrics

Embeddable relational database for web apps written in pure JavaScript

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

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.

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Time Series DBMS

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

with GEO package

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
