Redis provides an in-memory data platform used for caching, application state and data structures such as streams and sorted sets. Redis Open Source, Redis Cloud and Redis Software are separate deployment and commercial choices. Version 8 and later offer an AGPLv3 licence option alongside RSALv2 and SSPLv1; older releases have different terms. Persistence and failover should be designed around what the application can afford to lose.

Explore the required features and plan before choosing.SQLite is an embedded SQL database library that reads and writes database files within an application process. It avoids running a separate database server and is well suited to local application storage, mobile applications and many single-node workloads. Its public-domain core is free to use, while a team still needs to design file access, backup handling and the expected pattern of concurrent writes.
View product profile →PostgreSQL is an object-relational database for applications that need SQL transactions, relational constraints and extensible data types. It also supports JSON documents and an extension ecosystem including geospatial tools. Teams can run it themselves or buy a managed service from a hosting provider; the database licence does not include somebody operating backups and upgrades for them.
View product profile →MySQL is a relational database used behind websites and business applications. Community Edition provides a downloadable GPL database with transactions, replication and JSON support. Oracle also sells commercial editions and cloud services. A shortlist should identify the actual edition and application support requirement, rather than treating every product carrying the MySQL name as the same purchase.
