Security and portability from the edge to the cloud
Robust memory safety and high performance
SurrealDB is written from the ground up in Rust, a language trusted by security-critical industries that provides memory safety guarantees with performance equivalent to C/C++. It offers robust memory safety and high performance for secure deployments.
Portability to edge devices and embedded systems
SurrealDB offers portability to edge devices, browsers (via WebAssembly), and embedded systems, allowing data processing to happen on-site, in-browser, or across remote environments with minimal latency. Ideal for IoT-driven energy grids, smart factories, and field-deployed public systems.
AI-ready by design: native vector and knowledge graph capabilities
SurrealDB empowers enterprises to build Generative AI and real-time ML applications by combining native vector search for embedding-based retrieval and semantic querying with integrated knowledge graphs for representing complex entity relationships.
Flexible deployment: from cloud to edge to browser
SurrealDB supports multiple deployment models without sacrificing performance or consistency. Run it as a cloud service, self-hosted, embedded, or in-browser with WebAssembly. Perfect for offline-capable control systems, mobile maintenance apps, and browser-based dashboards.

Why decision makers choose SurrealDB
Horizontal scalability without sharding complexity
Energy and manufacturing enterprises must scale to petabytes of sensor, operational, and telemetry data. SurrealDB provides true horizontal scalability without manual sharding, seamlessly scaling across plants, stations, and distributed control units.
OLTP, BaaS, and real-time applications in one
SurrealDB bridges transactional workloads (OLTP) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) use cases, enabling secure identity management, low-latency interactions, and integration with AI pipelines for real-time inference at the data layer.
Graph capabilities for intelligent systems
SurrealDB's native graph engine supports complex, multi-relational data modelling for supply chain visibility, cybersecurity risk modeling, and compliance tracing in smart metering and procurement systems.
Time-series and historical querying
For systems that require longitudinal data analysis and compliance audits, SurrealDB supports time-series ingestion from IoT sensors, market feeds, and SCADA systems with historical querying ("time travel") for rollback analysis.
Low operational overhead
Ideal for both private sector modernisation and public sector digital transformation with minimal operational complexity and maximum performance.
The future of operational intelligence is here
Whether modernising industrial infrastructure, enabling AI-driven insights at the edge, or supporting secure, browser-based tools for public administration, SurrealDB offers a unified, secure, and AI-native data platform with the performance and flexibility required by the world's most mission-critical sectors.
