Deploying a self-hosted instance with SurrealDB is quick and easy. All of SurrealDB's functionality for starting a server, and importing and exporting data, is enabled through the command-line tool, packaged and distributed as a single executable file, which can be downloaded, installed, or run from within Docker.
Once a self-hosted instance is running, the Observability section covers the built-in metrics, audit logs and slow-query logs you can scrape over Prometheus or push over OTLP for production monitoring.
