Hazelcast vs KeyDB: What are the differences?
What is Hazelcast? Clustering and highly scalable data distribution platform for Java. With its various distributed data structures, distributed caching capabilities, elastic nature, memcache support, integration with Spring and Hibernate and more importantly with so many happy users, Hazelcast is feature-rich, enterprise-ready and developer-friendly in-memory data grid solution.
What is KeyDB? Open source lighting fast key-value database with advanced features. KeyDB is a fully open source database that aims to make use of all hardware resources. KeyDB makes it possible to breach boundaries often dictated by price and complexity.
Hazelcast and KeyDB belong to "In-Memory Databases" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by Hazelcast are:
- Distributed implementations of java.util.{Queue, Set, List, Map}
