What is SurrealDB?

SurrealDB is a cloud-native database that uniquely combines multiple data models (document, graph, relational, time-series, and key-value) into a single platform with real-time capabilities. It offers built-in search, analytics, and security features while eliminating the complexity of managing separate databases for different data types. For example, a financial services company can use SurrealDB to track customer transactions, detect fraud patterns through graph relationships, and analyze time-series market data - all within one database system, reducing integration overhead and enabling faster decision-making through unified real-time data access.

Why is SurrealDB better on Shakudo?

SurrealDB's ability to unify document, graph, and relational data models through a single query language becomes significantly more impactful when deployed on Shakudo. The environment ensures zero-friction integration with data orchestration, monitoring, and access control layers—allowing teams to leverage SurrealDB's multi-model power without building middleware or managing devops pipelines.

Without Shakudo, standing up a scalable SurrealDB cluster with proper authentication, logging, and ecosystem connectivity often takes weeks of infrastructure work. On Shakudo, the same setup is instantiated in minutes with built-in observability, workspace isolation, and durable storage—allowing data teams to go from raw ingestion to interactive querying in record time.

For product and analytics teams, this means real-time features, personalization systems, or event-based user models can be built faster and changed frequently without involving platform engineers. SurrealDB’s dynamic schema and SQL-like DSL align with rapid iteration needs—and Shakudo provides the operational scaffolding to ship them safely.
