Hi johnwoods - Tobie founder of SurrealDB here. We're updating our website so it's clearer, but in the meantime, the best page to see the current functionality is our features page…

Hi user1029384756 - Tobie here, founder of SurrealDB. It's just a team of 2 of us at the moment, with the intention to grow the team very soon! At the moment (as you have noted) th…

Hi user1029384756 - Tobie here, founder of SurrealDB. We do plan to support GraphQL integration soon (hopefully before our final 1.0 version). Our features page https://surrealdb.c…

Thanks dodyg. The implementation is already in the codebase. We're just looking to get it built into the Linux version in the next release!

Hi dodyg, it is our intention to provide a fully-managed cloud hosted version of SurrealDB. We'll also offer support to those companies who want/need it. But our primary business m…

Awesome I'll see you on the RxDB Discord!

Hi yawnxyz - absolutely we intend to have support for Svelte in due course! We aren't Svelte users ourselves, so any suggestions or ideas are very welcome! Do let us know in the co…

Yes you're right. Accessing IndexedDB from WebAssembly needs to go through JavaScript. The only benefit from our perspective is that building it in Rust enables us to use the same …

No not rhetorical - was genuinely interested in any suggestions. Out of interest, if the product was split (like other database products) into a 'core' open-source version, and an …

Hi typingmonkey. So SurrealDB abstracts away the document aspect of IndexedDB so it can be used as a key-value store. We then use that key-value store (in a similar way to RocksDB)…

Hi danielvaughn thanks so much for the comment! We love CockroachDB and Planetscale! With SurrealDB we intended to build a database where you can use the best of the relational dat…

Ok lovasoa, we will definitely give this a thought!!! Just out of interest (and so I can understand your position / usecase better), how would the current license prevent you using…

Hi lovasoa, this is definitely an option, and we're open to suggestions in this area!

Hi AtNightWeCode, we're just a team of 2 developers at the moment, and completely bootstrapped. This is only our initial release, and we have a long journey ahead of us. We realise…

Hi revskill, absolutely you could do something like this: DEFINE EVENT changed ON person WHEN $before.email != $after.email THEN http::post(' https://my-webhook.com ', $after); It'…

Haha no worries carvking! Thank you!

Hi PeterZaitsev, many of our core components that are used within the database are open source under the MIT / Apache 2.0 license. With regards to the core database code, it is fre…

Hi satvikchoudhary! It's a good question. Obviously I know of ArangoDB, but I don't know it well enough to comment on the main differences, so I'll focus on what SurrealDB is aimin…

Hi carvking! The database can be used completely without our own cloud hosted product (for which there is a waitlist on the site). We're still a little bit away from offering our c…

Hi jpambrun we're definitely open to comments and suggestions around this!

Hi the_duke. The base implementation of that key-value store (written in Golang) can be found here: https://github.com/surrealdb/rixxdb I don't think the implementation of the idea…

Hi gardenfelder, we've got a whole page on our site explaining the thought process and our intentions around the license - https://surrealdb.com/license !

Hi geenat, CockroachDB is an awesome database! SurrealDB and CockroachDB are quite different, in that CockroachDB is effectively a highly-available distributed PostgreSQL database …

Lol. Unfortunately only /dev/null is truly web scale :) !
