Use when

Full-stack developers prototyping apps who want an opinionated database with realtime and permissions out of the box.

Avoid when

Large-scale mission-critical workloads — SurrealDB is still maturing; Postgres + Redis is a safer production stack today.

What is SurrealDB?

SurrealDB is a Rust-built multi-model database combining document, graph, relational, and key-value paradigms behind a single query language (SurrealQL). It supports embedded, single-server, and distributed (TiKV-backed) modes. Authentication, permissions, and realtime subscriptions are built-in, aiming to simplify app backends. Still maturing operationally, but gaining traction with full-stack developers who want fewer moving parts.
