Azure SQL Database vs HBase: What are the differences?

Developers describe Azure SQL Database as "Managed, intelligent SQL in the cloud". It is the intelligent, scalable, cloud database service that provides the broadest SQL Server engine compatibility and up to a 212% return on investment. It is a database service that can quickly and efficiently scale to meet demand, is automatically highly available, and supports a variety of third party software. On the other hand, HBase is detailed as "The Hadoop database, a distributed, scalable, big data store". Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, column-oriented store modeled after Google' Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Apache Hadoop.

Azure SQL Database and HBase can be primarily classified as "Databases" tools.

HBase is an open source tool with 3K GitHub stars and 2.05K GitHub forks. Here's a link to HBase's open source repository on GitHub.

Pinterest, HubSpot, and hike are some of the popular companies that use HBase, whereas Azure SQL Database is used by Property With Potential, Kriasoft, and vLearning Solutions. HBase has a broader approval, being mentioned in 69 company stacks & 109 developers stacks; compared to Azure SQL Database, which is listed in 21 company stacks and 20 developer stacks.

What are some alternatives to Azure SQL Database and HBase?
MySQL
The MySQL software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions.
MongoDB
MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents that can vary in structure, offering a dynamic, flexible schema. MongoDB was also designed for high availability and scalability, with built-in replication and auto-sharding.
Redis
Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker. Redis provides data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes, and streams.
Amazon S3
Amazon Simple Storage Service provides a fully redundant data storage infrastructure for storing and retrieving any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web
