Accelerating innovation and reducing costs with SurrealDB

Industry: AI Content Copilot

Development efficiency: 40% faster development cycles

SiteForge, an emerging AI Content Copilot, successfully reduced its development cycle by 40%, queries by 20%, and scaled back the number of backend APIs by 75% by migrating to SurrealDB's unified database platform.

Key challenges

LIMITED AND COMPLICATED SDK CAPABILITIES

Previous database solution had incomplete JSONB querying and support, requiring multiple queries for simple operations.

OPERATIONAL OVERLOAD

Rapidly evolving product requirements hindered innovation and slowed development cycles while increasing maintenance costs.

SCHEMA MIGRATION COMPLEXITY

Needed to iterate quickly and update schemas without worrying about complex migration processes.

BACKEND API PROLIFERATION

Required building numerous backend APIs to handle feature functionality, increasing complexity and maintenance burden.

Solutions

MULTI-MODEL DATABASE CAPABILITIES

Leveraged SurrealDB's ability to store JSON, retrieve nested objects, handle graph relations, and manage vector embeddings.

CLIENT-SIDE DATABASE QUERYING

Combined client-side database querying with authorization to eliminate the need for multiple backend APIs.

FLEXIBLE SCHEMA AND NESTED QUERIES

Used Record IDs, Record Relations, Nested Objects & Arrays, and Nested Queries to turn complex information into clear insights.

RAPID MIGRATION PROCESS

Successfully migrated all customer data from Supabase to SurrealDB in less than 24 hours with zero downtime.

Results

DEVELOPMENT EFFICIENCY

40% FASTER
