Database Stacks List (Popular, Trending, AWS Cloud)

There are many new tech stacks creating everyday, a lot of existing problems in software could be solved in using a different tech stacks, especially in data and data storage area. Based on my experience in software engineering, I found many companies using improper storage stack,

for example,

  • Using a OLTP db for OLAP purpose, it costs tons of time and money for maintaining the services running.
    • This kind of problems could possibly be solved easily after analysing usage and switching to a data warehouse service like Amazon redshift.
  • Using a single instance DB for different regions customers, with company growing, the main customers/users’ region changed, and company suffer from the bottle neck of DB performance and network latency.
    • This problem could possible be solved by using cloud native db or a proper distribute db.

This page is (trying) to list all trending/robust/new data related stacks (including the AWS database as well) to help engineers and architect to choose next right db stack for their products, to avoid this kind of issues once for all. Hopefully, this could help you a bit.
