Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

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

A multi-model, scalable, distributed NoSQL database, designed to provide highly reliable, flexible, and available data management across a configurable set of storage nodes

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.

Key-Value Store with special method for indexing

optimized for high performance using a special indexing method

A resource-optimized, high-performance, universally applicable RDBMS
