All the big names in NoSQL have a server you need to install and maintain. In the SQL world as well, actually.

SQLite, LMDB and RocksDB are all popular and embedded. They're not really web-centric though so don't get as much exposure on HN and its ilk.

Edit: Sorry if I sound like "that guy," just offering up some names in case people aren't familiar with them.
