Compare the Top In-Memory Databases for Cloud as of June 2025

What are In-Memory Databases for Cloud?

In-memory databases store data directly in a system’s main memory (RAM) rather than on traditional disk-based storage, enabling much faster data access and processing. This approach significantly reduces latency and increases performance, making in-memory databases ideal for real-time analytics, high-frequency transactions, and applications requiring rapid data retrieval. They are often used in industries like finance, telecommunications, and e-commerce, where speed and scalability are critical. In-memory databases support both SQL and NoSQL models and typically include features for data persistence to avoid data loss during system shutdowns. Ultimately, they provide high-speed performance for time-sensitive applications while ensuring data availability and integrity.

    QuasarDB

    QuasarDB

    QuasarDB

    Quasar's brain is QuasarDB, a high-performance, distributed, column-oriented timeseries database management system designed from the ground up to deliver real-time on petascale use cases. Up to 20X less disk usage. Quasardb ingestion and compression capabilities are unmatched. Up to 10,000X faster feature extraction. QuasarDB can extract features in real-time from the raw data, thanks to the combination of a built-in map/reduce query engine, an aggregation engine that leverages SIMD from modern CPUs, and stochastic indexes that use virtually no disk space. The most cost-effective timeseries solution, thanks to its ultra-efficient resource usage, the capability to leverage object storage (S3), unique compression technology, and fair pricing model. Quasar runs everywhere, from 32-bit ARM devices to high-end Intel servers, from Edge Computing to the cloud or on-premises.

    Oracle TimesTen
    Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database (TimesTen) delivers real time application performance (low response time and high throughput) by changing the assumptions around where data resides at runtime. By managing data in memory, and optimizing data structures and access algorithms accordingly, database operations execute with maximum efficiency achieving dramatic gains in responsiveness and throughput. With the introduction of TimesTen Scaleout, a shared nothing scale-out architecture based on the existing in-memory technology, TimesTen allows databases to transparently scale across dozens of hosts, reach hundreds of terabytes in size and support hundreds of millions of transactions per second without the need for manual database sharding or workload partitioning.

    Apache Geode
    Build high-speed, data-intensive applications that elastically meet performance requirements at any scale. Take advantage of Apache Geode's unique technology that blends advanced techniques for data replication, partitioning and distributed processing. Apache Geode provides a database-like consistency model, reliable transaction processing and a shared-nothing architecture to maintain very low latency performance with high concurrency processing. Data can easily be partitioned (sharded) or replicated between nodes allowing performance to scale as needed. Durability is ensured through redundant in-memory copies and disk-based persistence. Super fast write-ahead-logging (WAL) persistence with a shared-nothing architecture that is optimized for fast parallel recovery of nodes or an entire cluster.
