Name

Description

Well established RDBMS

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

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

Analytics Platform for Big Data

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

using the Manticore Columnar Library
