ExpeditKallax | 3 years ago | on: Futuristic databases you’ve never heard of [video]

The video claims: "Let's take a look at the top 15 new databases that could disrupt software development in the future. Many new serverless databases leverage tools like Postgres and MySQL, while others attempt build entirely new systems from scratch.

This video is NOT sponsored. No company paid to be on this list."

And the list do databases is:

- Planetscale - Yugabye - NeonDB - Dolt - CockroachDB - Cloudflare D1 - Xata - 8base - EdgeDB - SurrealDB - FaunaDB - memgraph - KeyDB - Meilisearch - MindsDB

I guess that this databases might sound unknown if you are new to the database world. I do recognize a few names from HN threads :)

Yeah, I know that gas/oil also degrades over time.
