Name

Description

Embeddable fast key-value storage library that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries. info

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

In-memory data structure store, used as database, cache and message broker info

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Primary database model
