InfluxDB
Purpose built for real-time analytics at any scale. InfluxDB Platform is powered by columnar analytics, optimized for cost-efficient storage, and built with open data standards.

There's an open source effort to build one with a Pi Pico: https://github.com/kbeckmann/PicoCart64/tree/develop
I have no clue how tested it is, and README mentions only up to 2MB ROMs, but it is a start.

Avian
[INACTIVE] Avian is a lightweight virtual machine and class library designed to provide a useful subset of Java's features, suitable for building self-contained applications.
There's been plenty but they've fallen aside for various reasons.
- GCJ (iirc only pre 1.5-1.6 java support so never with generic versions, not sure if they ever implented JNI but relied on their own so libraries with native bindings had to be manually ported iirc)
- Excelsior JET was a strong option for a long time on desktops up until 2018, main selling point was resistance to decompilation but not sure if they ran afoul of Oracle licensing or couldn't keep up with the accelerated pace of JDK releases in later years.
(The below were options to various degrees for iOS developers)
- Avian VM ( https://readytalk.github.io/avian/ ), opensource and seems to be up but never really saw an uptake or proper debug tooling iirc, seems inactive by now.
- Robo VM was another strong option with strong support for IDE debuggers,etc since it was used by gamedevs and the initial libgdx author was involved in it. Sadly they were sold out to Xamarin shortly before MS bought out Xamarin and then promptly shut down since MS only had interest in Xamarin for their C# iOS/Android toolkits.
- RoboVM forks, luckily RoboVM core was liberally licensed so forks were possible for those working on mobile games with iOS ports even if the tooling wasn't as slick as the official RoboVM project (No idea if any of the open source variants have caught up, it was a bit chaotic initially with many forks).
- Intel had(have?) some AOT compiler for Java that was an option for libgdx developers for a while but RoboVM being more "native" had more eyes and no idea if Intel really had a business case for it's Java things ? (
(Funnily enough, I was actually doing an AOT one during late uni times to write a thesis on game GC's (and hoping to maybe commercialize), then Oracle bought out Sun and I wrote a JS AOT prototype instead. Hearing of Oracle vs Goog it felt sane but Oracle did showcase RoboVM later on so maybe it was silly)
