Supported Datastores

A hybrid of BigTable and Dynamo, Cassandra is a peer-to-peer datastore capable of very high scale and high throughput.

A BigTable implementation in Java, HBase runs on top of Hadoop, a distributed file system based off of Google's File System.

A BigTable implementation in C++, Hypertable runs on top of Hadoop and has a primary goal of being high performing.

MongoDB is a document store best used for append-heavy operations. It is schema-free and allows for dynamic queries.

MemcacheDB uses the exact same API as MemcacheD, a distributed memory cache, and provides persistence via BerkeleyDB.

A popular shared-nothing relational database, MySQL Cluster is used as a key-value datastore in AppScale.

Voldemort is a peer-to-peer key-value datastore based on Dynamo. Its persistence is handled by BerkeleyDB.

Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server.

All these datastores are automatically deployed and configured on any infrastructure capable of running Ubuntu.
