OrientDB Alternatives for Self-Hosted

RedisGraph is the first free and open source queryable Property Graph database to use sparse matrices to represent the adjacency matrix in graphs and linear algebra to query the graph.

CouchDB is a free and open-source document-oriented NoSQL database developed by the Apache Foundation. The database is written and implemented in the language Erlang and provides the use of multiple formats and protocols to store, transfer, and process data. With CouchDB you query data with JavaScript using MapReduce, and HTTP for an API. Which can be done across multiple distributed CouchDB instances as the database has the ability to synchronize multiple copies of the same database, across servers.

PouchDB is a free and open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB. The database is designed from the ground-up to run well within modern web browsers. With PouchDB you can create web applications that works as well offline as they do online. PouchDB achives this by storing data locally, then synchronize it with CouchDB and compatible servers when the user get internet access once again. This is especially useful for applications facing countries and regions with lower quality internet connections or unstable infrastructure.

QuestDB is a relational column-oriented time series database designed for real-time analytics on time series and event data. It uses the SQL language and include extensions for time series data. QuestDB is released as free and open source software and distributed as a single binary including a trimmed version of the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) weighing in at only 24.5 MB.

SQLite is a free and open-source relational database management system that implements a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured, SQL database engine. Rather than being a typical client–server database engine, SQLite is self-contained and can be embedded into applications. Making it perfect for development frameworks that want to provide a default database without setup, or applications that needs an embedded database. SQLite is built into all mobile operating systems and most computers and comes bundled with a countless applications. SQLite is also ACID-compliant and implements most of the SQL standard, generally following PostgreSQL syntax.

RxDB is short for Reactive Database and is a NoSQL-database for JavaScript Applications like Websites, hybrid Apps, Electron-Apps, Progressive Web Apps and NodeJs. Reactive means that you can not only query the current state, but subscribe to all state changes like the result of a query or even a single field of a document. This is great for UI-based realtime applications in way that makes it easy to develop and also has great performance benefits. To replicate data between your clients and server, RxDB provides modules for realtime replication with any CouchDB compliant endpoint and also with custom GraphQL endpoints.

CrateDB is the leading, distributed SQL database for relational and time‑series data. CrateDB provides a distributed SQL DBMS built atop NoSQL storage & indexing delivers the best of SQL & NoSQL in one DB. It's designed for simple scalability with a masterless architecture with auto-sharding & replication. It also provides solutions for dynamic schema where the schema evolves automatically as new columns are inserted, while handling any tabular or non-tabular data to support a wide range of use cases. CrateDB is the perfect choice for your machine data.

TimescaleDB is a leading open-source relational database for time-series data. The database is provided as fully managed or self‑hosted software, giving the power of choice back to developers and organizations. Timescale gives you all the reliability and flexibility of PostgreSQL. It allows you to use regular SQL to construct queries to better understand your products and your users. While achieve 10-100x faster queries than PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, and MongoDB with native optimizations for time-series.

KeyDB is fast, free, and open-source NoSQL database with full compatibility for Redis APIs, clients, and modules. The database was originally forked from the Redis code-base and has been improved to handle multithreading, memory efficiency, and higher throughput. KeyDB is now a fully multithreaded and allow many machine cores to operate a single node resulting in 5X the throughput of Redis (v5) and up to 3x the throughput of Redis (v6). KeyDB also includes Redis Enterprise such as Active Replication, FLASH storage support, and other features like direct backup to AWS S3.

VoltDB is a blazingly fast NewSQL database management system that is specifically designed to run on modern scale-out architectures - fast, inexpensive servers connected via high-speed data networks. VoltDB is a popular choice for companies with high data throughput requirements, like in the telecommunications industry. 5G has changed the game for telcos, and new rules call for a new way of managing data. VoltDB is built for today’s massive data volume and complexity, allowing businesses to survive and thrive in the age of 5G, IoT, and whatever comes next.

solidDB is a fully featured, relational in-memory database that meets the performance and reliability demands of real-time applications. There are currently millions of deployments utilizing the power of SolidDB for telecommunications networks, enterprise applications, and embedded software & systems. Market leaders such as Cisco, HP, Alcatel, Nokia and Siemens rely on solidDB for their mission-critical applications.

MonetDB is an column-oriented database management system developed at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica. The database is released as free and open source software under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. By design, MonetDB can handle high performance on complex queries against large databases with hundreds of columns and millions of rows.
