# SurrealDB Studio Sandbox

Try SurrealDB in the browser with the SurrealDB Studio Sandbox - no install and no account required.

The fastest way to try SurrealDB is to open [SurrealDB Studio](https://app.surrealdb.com/) in the browser and use the **Sandbox** connection. You can run queries, explore the data model, and use features such as the SurrealQL and GraphQL editors without installing anything on your computer.

> [!NOTE]
> Sandbox data is **not persistent**: it is reset when the session ends or the sandbox is cleared. It is ideal for learning and ad hoc experiments, not for data you need to keep.

## Next steps

When you want **persistent** data but still do not want to install SurrealDB locally, use **[SurrealDB Cloud](/docs/running/cloud.md)** - a free instance only needs an email to get started.

When you are ready to run SurrealDB on your own machine, continue with **[Installation](/docs/running/installation.md)**.
