SurrealDB
Open your editor, spin up a single process, and start modeling data as you build. With SurrealDB, you don’t choose between document storage, relationships, vector search, event history, or file blobs—you use all of them side by side. Begin with a lightweight in-memory run for prototyping, or drop the WebAssembly build into a browser to persist data on the client. Connect your app over HTTP or WebSockets, insert JSON records, define links between entities, add embedding vectors, and subscribe to live changes. You can keep things flexible with ad-hoc fields, then introduce constraints when patterns stabilize, all without pausing development.
When it’s time to ship, promote the same data model to servers or clusters without rewrites. SurrealDB handles workloads from edge devices to large multi-node deployments, so the path from local testing to high-volume production is straightforward. Create vector indexes to power semantic search, traverse connected data to resolve recommendations, and stream time-stamped events for analytics. Need offline-first behavior? Keep state in the browser via WASM and sync back when the network returns. For multi-tenant SaaS, carve out namespaces and databases per customer to isolate data while sharing infrastructure. Developers can watch live subscriptions for UI updates, push batched writes from workers, and run complex queries that blend similarity search, graph traversal, and document filters in one pass. more
