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.

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

MultiValue database and application server with SQL mapping layer and meta database capabilities

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

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Multivalue DBMS

Time Series DBMS
