surrealdb
About surrealdb
SurrealDB is a multi-model database built in Rust that combines document, graph, relational, time-series, geospatial, and key-value data types into a single engine. It supports powerful search and retrieval functionalities, including full-text, vector, and hybrid search, along with real-time and event-driven capabilities. The database is designed for applications requiring multiple data types, AI agents, knowledge graphs, and real-time systems like recommendation engines or fraud detection.
SurrealDB can function as both a database and an API backend service, enabling real-time collaboration. It supports SQL-like querying (SurrealQL), GraphQL, ACID transactions, WebSocket connections, and granular access control with row-level permissions. The database can run embedded, in the browser via WebAssembly, on the edge, self-hosted, or in a distributed cloud cluster.
