Name

Description

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.

SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments
