DescriptionFully vectorized database across both GPUs and CPUsIn-memory key-value store, originally intended for cachingRDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into an application or used as a database serverA scalable, reliable search and analytics service in the cloud, built on RocksDBIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
