Description

Oracles in-memory data grid solution

A drop-in replacement for MongoDB Community Edition with enterprise-grade features.

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.

Scalable, distributed, cloud-native DBMS, extending MySQL

Primary database model

Key-value store
