Name

Description

A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middleware

JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDB

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

A horizontally scalable, ACID transactional, document database available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Multivalue DBMS

Document store

Relational DBMS
