Name

Description

DBMS for storing time series, events and metrics

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

One of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure

A cloud-native analytic database platform with new technologoy for elastic MPP

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.
