Name

Description

A fully ACID in-memory object graph 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.

Open source search engine for searching in data from different sources, e.g. relational databases

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL

High performance Graph DBMS supporting HTAP high availability cluster deployment

Primary database model

Object oriented DBMS

Key-value store

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