    Infinispan

    Infinispan

    Infinispan

    Infinispan is an open-source in-memory data grid that offers flexible deployment options and robust capabilities for storing, managing, and processing data. Infinispan provides a key/value data store that can hold all types of data, from Java objects to plain text. Infinispan distributes your data across elastically scalable clusters to guarantee high availability and fault tolerance, whether you use Infinispan as a volatile cache or a persistent data store. Infinispan turbocharges applications by storing data closer to processing logic, which reduces latency and increases throughput. Available as a Java library, you simply add Infinispan to your application dependencies and then you’re ready to store data in the same memory space as the executing code.

    SwayDB

    SwayDB

    SwayDB

    Embeddable persistent and in-memory key-value storage engine for high performance & resource efficiency. Designed to be efficient at managing bytes on-disk and in-memory by recognising reoccurring patterns in serialised bytes without restricting the core implementation to any specific data model (SQL, NoSQL etc) or storage type (Disk or RAM). The core provides many configurations that can be manually tuned for custom use-cases, but we aim implement automatic runtime tuning when we are able to collect and analyse runtime machine statistics & read-write patterns. Manage data by creating familiar data structures like Map, Set, Queue, SetMap, MultiMap that can easily be converted to native Java and Scala collections. Perform conditional updates/data modifications with any Java, Scala or any native JVM code - No query language.

    Voldemort

    Voldemort

    Voldemort

    Voldemort is not a relational database, it does not attempt to satisfy arbitrary relations while satisfying ACID properties. Nor is it an object database that attempts to transparently map object reference graphs. Nor does it introduce a new abstraction such as document-orientation. It is basically just a big, distributed, persistent, fault-tolerant hash table. For applications that can use an O/R mapper like active-record or hibernate this will provide horizontal scalability and much higher availability but at great loss of convenience. For large applications under internet-type scalability pressure, a system may likely consist of a number of functionally partitioned services or APIs, which may manage storage resources across multiple data centers using storage systems which may themselves be horizontally partitioned. For applications in this space, arbitrary in-database joins are already impossible since all the data is not available in any single database.

    etcd

    etcd

    etcd

    etcd is a strongly consistent, distributed key-value store that provides a reliable way to store data that needs to be accessed by a distributed system or cluster of machines. It gracefully handles leader elections during network partitions and can tolerate machine failure, even in the leader node. Store data in hierarchically organized directories, as in a standard filesystem. Watch specific keys or directories for changes and react to changes in values.

    Terracotta

    Terracotta

    Terracotta

    Terracotta Server Platform is a distributed in-memory data management system that supports Terracotta products such as Ehcache and TCStore. The platform acts as the backbone for Terracotta clusters and helps add distributed caching capabilities to Ehcache deployments. A Terracotta Server Array can range from a basic two-node setup to a larger multi-node configuration for greater scale, performance, and failover coverage. Terracotta Server provides features such as distributed in-memory data management, simple scalability, high availability, health monitoring, and automatic node reconnection. It can manage significantly more in-memory data than traditional data grids while allowing teams to expand server instances as demand grows. Terracotta Server Platform is designed for development and infrastructure teams that need reliable distributed caching, clustered data management, and high-performance in-memory storage.

    BergDB

    BergDB

    BergDB

    Welcome! BergDB is a Java/.NET database designed to be simple and efficient. It was created for us developers who prefer to focus on our specific task, rather then spend time on database issues. BergDB has: simple key-value storage, ACID transactions, historic queries, efficient concurrency control, secondary indexes, fast append-only storage, replication, transparent object serialization and more. BergDB is an embedded, open-source, document-oriented, schemaless, NoSQL database. BergDB is built from the ground up to execute transactions exceptionally fast. And there are no compromises, all writes to the database are made in ACID transactions with the highest possible level of consistency (in SQL-speak: serializable isolation level). Historic queries are important when previous data states are of interest, and also as a fast way to handle concurrency. A read operation never locks anything in BergDB.
