SurrealDB 4 is here: the database and memory for every agent.

It’s a big one. A faster engine, more than 240 fixes no 3.x release contains, and Postgres and MySQL compatibility, so the tools you already use can connect. Alongside it comes SurrealDB Earth, our new serverless offering on Cloudflare, which gives every user, customer or agent a database of its own that starts on its first query. And SurrealDS, for the deployments that need to grow.

Join us live on Wed 18 Nov to dig into all of it. Tobie Morgan Hitchcock (co-founder and CEO) and Stu Schwartz (Head of Engineering) take a closer look at what’s new in SurrealDB 4 and why it matters. Then Chiru (Agentic Systems Engineer) puts it to work, building an online store platform where every shop gets its own database on SurrealDB Earth.

The last part is yours, so bring your questions!

THE PLATFORM

Everything an application and its agents know. Five surfaces, one engine.

Database

Document, graph, vector, time-series and relational in one engine.

Five data models as dotted tiles: documents, graph, vector, time-series and relational

Agent Memory

What an agent learns, with its source and its time, in the same engine.

A timeline of remembered facts, each with its source

Cloud

Dedicated clusters by region, or serverless on SurrealDB Earth.

Clusters in three regions on a world map, each running or scaling

Studio

Query, explore and design the schema from the browser.

MCP

Every model that speaks MCP reaches the database and the memory directly.

Three models connected through MCP to the database and Agent Memory

IN PRODUCTION

Trusted at scale. Samsung, Nvidia, Verizon, Tencent, and Walmart run on SurrealDB.

FROM THE TEAMS

SurrealDB gives us a foundation where we can unify semantic search, knowledge graphs, and AI-driven decision making without stitching together multiple systems. Collapsing responsibility into SurrealDB has become our default engineering posture.
