We’re excited to announce the release of Surrealist 3.3
. Our rethink on the Surrealist experience has led us to a new overview page, Instance configurator, and a dashboard view with a few more updates for Cloud instance configuration. Let’s dive right in and see what’s new 🎉.
When we first released Surreal Cloud as part of Surrealist, we focused on providing a way to connect to and manage your Surreal Cloud Instances. The Surreal Cloud panel was a single place to manage your instance settings, capabilities, and other configuration options. Although this was a great start, we knew we could do better.
To ensure that you have a better experience when using Surreal Cloud, we have introduced a new overview page. This page provides a more intuitive and user-friendly experience for navigating between local connections and Surreal Cloud Instances.
The Cloud Dashboard view has also been redesigned to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly experience for managing connection methods, instance configuration, compute and storage resources, and more.
Also included in the Cloud Dashboard is the ability to enable backups for your Surreal Cloud Instances. This allows you to create a backup of your instance and restore it if needed.
For free Surreal Cloud Instances, automatic backups are not available. For the Start plan, daily automatic backups are enabled by default.

In the previous release, capabilities were not configurable. This meant that you could not allow configurations like guest access, scripting functions, RPC or HTTP endpoints. To address this, 3.3
introduces a new instance configuration drawer which includes the following:
You can now pause and resume your Surreal Cloud Instances. This is useful if you need to stop your instance from running to save costs. Learn more about this in the Surreal Cloud documentation.
The Sidekick page has been redesigned to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly experience. The page now includes suggestion prompts to help you get started with SurrealQL. We hope you like it!
