Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

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

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

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.

A distributed graph DBMS built for enterprise-level graph applications

A general purpose database with bitemporal SQL and Datalog and graph queries

Primary database model

Key-value store

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Key-value store

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence
