TerminusDB is an open-source database that stores linked JSON documents as a knowledge graph, with git-like version control. It is aimed at developers and data teams who need to track and query how their data changes over time.
AceBase is a database that stores app data and sends live updates to apps when that data changes. It is aimed at developers who want a Firebase-style database that they can run themselves on Node.js, in the browser, or on their own hardware.
PocketBase is a free, open-source backend that bundles a database, user and file management, an admin dashboard, and a simple API into one program. It is for developers who want to build apps without running a separate server setup for each piece.
Meilisearch is a search engine that lets websites and apps find items quickly, even when the search has typos. It is for developers who want to add search to their own sites or apps, either on a hosted service or on their own servers.
Qdrant is a database that stores data as numerical vectors and finds items by meaning, such as similar text or images. It is aimed at developers building search, recommendation or AI matching features.
InfluxDB is a database that stores and quickly queries data that arrives over time, such as sensor readings, server metrics and events. It is aimed at developers and operators who build dashboards, monitoring and automation.
Typesense is a search engine that lets a website or app find items quickly, even when the search text has typos. It is for developers who want to add search to their own sites and apps, and it can be run on your own servers or through a paid hosted service.
TDengine is an open-source database built to store and analyze very large volumes of time-stamped data from sensors and machines. It is aimed at developers and operators running Internet of Things, connected-car and industrial systems.
Sonic is a search engine server that stores words and item IDs so an app can quickly find matching items. It is meant for developers who want a lighter alternative to heavy search systems like Elasticsearch.
ZincSearch is a search engine that indexes text so you can find things quickly inside your own data. It is meant for developers and teams who want full text search without the complexity of Elasticsearch.
Neo4j is a database that stores data as a network of connected items instead of plain tables. It is aimed at developers and organisations that need to work with highly connected data.
Weaviate is a database that stores text and images as numerical vectors so it can find items by meaning rather than exact keywords. It is aimed at developers building AI search, chatbot and recommendation features.
Manticore Search is an open-source database for searching text, logs and other data, with SQL support and vector search. It is for developers and teams who want a self-hosted search engine instead of Elasticsearch or Algolia.
Quickwit is a search engine for storing and searching large amounts of logs and traces, kept on cloud storage. It is aimed at engineers and operations teams who monitor software systems.
Kuzzle is a ready-made backend server that handles common app needs such as data storage, user logins, and live updates. It is aimed at developers who want to build web and IoT applications faster.

Netdata is a real-time monitoring tool that shows how your computers, servers and apps are performing, updated every second. It is for system administrators and developers who want to watch and troubleshoot their infrastructure.
SigNoz is a self-hosted tool that collects logs, metrics, traces and alerts so teams can see why their software is slow or broken. It is aimed at engineering and operations teams who run production systems.
HyperDX is a tool for searching and visualizing logs, traces, metrics and session replays to find why a production system is broken. It is aimed at engineers and runs on top of a ClickHouse database.
Coroot is an observability tool that collects metrics, logs, traces and profiles from your applications and turns them into plain insights about what is wrong. It is aimed at developers and operations teams who run services and want to understand their health and cloud costs.
Uptrace is a tool that collects performance and error data from software applications and shows it in dashboards, so teams can find and fix problems. It is aimed at developers and operations staff who run applications.
Grafana is a platform for viewing and understanding metrics and logs through dashboards, graphs and alerts. It is for teams who monitor systems and want to share their data views.
