Name

Description

DBMS for storing time series, events and metrics

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

High performance knowledge graph and semantic reasoning engine

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 scalable, reliable search and analytics service in the cloud, built on RocksDB
