Open Source Databases Software
Databases software provides structured systems for storing, retrieving, and managing large volumes of information. These tools handle diverse data formats including relational tables, object storage, and vector embeddings for semantic search. This type of software serves developers and data engineers who need to organize unstructured data or generate API endpoints. By hosting these apps on private infrastructure, you avoid external hosting costs and keep sensitive records and database schemas within your own network environment.
This page lists 35 open source tools in the Databases category. The most popular are NocoDB, MinIO and Milvus. Most use the Apache-2.0 or AGPL-3.0 license, and 31 offer an official Docker image.
