Name

Description

Globally distributed, horizontally scalable, multi-model database service

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store
Wide column store

Key-value store

supports sorted and unsorted key sets
Native XML DBMS

in the Oracle Berkeley DB XML version

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
