Feedback

Since we launched Surrealist 2.0 in April as the official management interface for interacting with your SurrealDB database, your continuous feedback has been invaluable to our team.

With the Surrealist 3.0 beta release, please continue to provide feedback, including submitting issues and requests via . Your feedback means everything to us, and shapes the future of Surrealist.

Surrealist will use a different config location for the beta, meaning any connections will be stored separately from those configured in stable Surrealist. Changes you make in the Surrealist beta will not transfer over to the stable Surrealist 3.0 release.
