I have tested EloqKV for a pet project and seems it is quite solid. Performance is fantastic, far out-performing most databases with durability by a large margin. I am not sure about the distributed transaction correctness but all my tests seem to indicate it works as advertised, which is very interesting because the other distributed NewSql databases are all rather slow. Haven't tried their SQL and Mongo solutions, but they also look quite interesting.

You need to take a look at https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-server sub millisecond reads and writes and supports transactions. Its main competitor is ScyllaDB which has comparable performance.

Thanks! I remember that for a long time Aerospike didn’t support transactions, and I just found out they rolled out this feature just a few months ago. I’ve always been a bit suspicious of NoSQL databases that add transaction support late in their lifecycle. MongoDB seems to fall into the same category, and its transaction support is, to say the least, rather unsatisfying.
