Q: Does SurrealDB run on edge devices?

Yes. SurrealDB is a single binary that runs embedded on edge gateways and industrial PCs, running offline with full ACID guarantees; replication to a central instance runs through your application.

Q: How does SurrealDB support predictive maintenance?

Equipment telemetry sits alongside embeddings from vibration or thermal analysis. Vector search finds similar failure patterns and graph edges map machines, components and maintenance histories.

Q: Can SurrealDB model supply chain and asset relationships?

Yes. Supplier, component, assembly and facility relationships are first-class graph edges, so multi-tier chains, material traces and single points of failure resolve in one query.

Q: Does SurrealDB support historical queries for compliance?

Yes. Point-in-time queries with VERSION on a versioned storage engine (experimental) return data as it stood at any past point, which covers regulatory audits, quality investigations and energy compliance reporting from the same database.

Q: Can SurrealDB act as the data backbone for digital twins?

Yes. A digital twin needs assets as a graph, telemetry as time series, configuration and documents, vectors for unstructured context and historical queries. SurrealDB handles all of them in one query language and one transaction, and Agent Memory extends the same substrate to the agents operating inside twins. See /use-cases/digital-twins.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Detect anomalies in sensor data. Time-series queries that flag deviations before they cause failures.

Readings from the last hour compared against the rolling 24-hour average.

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

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.
