VERSION 3.0

Introducing SurrealDB 3.0

Agent memory. First-class in the database.
In-memory engine. New, and built for speed.
Native extensions. Rust compiled to WebAssembly, inside the engine.

THE LAUNCH

A walk-through of 3.0. Agent memory, the in-memory engine and native extensions, in one tour.

WHAT'S NEW

Eleven changes, one release. Drawn from a year of alpha and beta releases.

01

Streaming query planner

Results stream as they are produced, with concurrent writes on HNSW indexes.

02

WebAssembly extensions

WASM plugins run inside SurrealQL, next to the data.

03

File storage

Buckets and file pointers are first-class types, inside one transaction.

04

In-memory engine

Lock-free MVCC with full ACID guarantees and optional background persistence.

05

Indexing overhaul

Concurrent index updates, compound range scans and ALTER INDEX.

06

Client-side transactions

Group operations across SDK calls and commit when ready.

07

Custom API endpoints

DEFINE API ships HTTP routes and middleware inside SurrealQL.

08

Record references

Bidirectional links at the schema level, kept in sync by the database.

09

Computed fields

Logic defined once with COMPUTED, evaluated at query time.

10

GraphQL is stable

Mutations, authentication, permissions and filtering, on by default.

11

Production-ready foundations

Synced writes by default, 150+ bugs closed, Go and Java SDKs at 1.0.

TRUSTED BY

Proven in production

FROM THE TEAMS

SurrealDB gives us a foundation where we can unify semantic search, knowledge graphs, and AI-driven decision making without stitching together multiple systems. Collapsing responsibility into SurrealDB has become our default engineering posture.
