Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

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.

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

YTsaurus is an open source platform for distributed storage and processing.

Primary database model

Key-value store

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

Graph DBMS

Document store
Key-value store

Secondary database models

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS

with RedisGraph
Spatial DBMS
Search engine
