Description

Widely used RDBMS

Open-source Time Series DBMS and monitoring system

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)

An in-memory SQL relational database that delivers microsecond response and high throughput for OLTP applications. TimesTen can be deployed as a standalone database or as a cache to a backend Oracle database.

TypeDB provides developers with an expressive, customizable type system to manage their data using an award-winning query language, TypeQL, while building on a high-performance, distributed architecture.
