Name

Yanza seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

NuoDB is a webscale distributed database that supports SQL and ACID transactions

A DBMS built for use on mobile devices that’s a fast, easy to use alternative to SQLite and Core Data

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.
