Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

An in-memory DBMS combining transactional and analytical processing to handle the aggregation of ever-changing data.

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene

Distributed, high-performance timeseries database

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.

A complete, distributed, parallel graph computing platform supporting web-scale data analytics in real-time

Primary database model

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

Graph DBMS

Secondary database models

Vector DBMS

Document store

with RedisJSON
