Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Titan has been decommisioned after the takeover by Datastax. It will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking. A fork has been open-sourced as JanusGraph.

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.

Key-Value Store with special method for indexing

optimized for high performance using a special indexing method

Titan is a Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters.

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase

Primary database model

Key-value store

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