Name

Description

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

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

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

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.

Cloud-based data warehousing service for structured and semi-structured data

Primary database model

Key-value store
Vector DBMS

Search engine
