Name

Description

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications

An open source distributed Time Series DBMS with high concurrency, high performance, and high scalability

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.

Columnar RDBMS optimized for Big Data analytics

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

Primary database model
