Name

Description

DBMS for storing time series, events and metrics

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

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.

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

MultiValue database and application server with SQL mapping layer and meta database capabilities

Primary database model

Time Series DBMS

Multivalue DBMS

Key-value store

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