Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Sqrrl has been acquired by Amazon and became a part of Amazon Web Services. It has been removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra

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.

DBMS for structured and unstructured content wrapped with an application server

Adaptable, secure NoSQL built on Apache Accumulo

Primary database model

Graph DBMS

Time Series DBMS

Key-value store

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

Native XML DBMS
