Name

Yaacomo seems to be discontinued and is removed from the DB-Engines ranking

Description

Widely used open source RDBMS

Scalable, distributed, serverless MySQL database platform built on top of Vitess

High performance knowledge graph and semantic reasoning engine

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

OpenCL based in-memory RDBMS, designed for efficiently utilizing the hardware via parallel computing

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
