Develop easier. Build faster. Scale quicker.
What is SurrealDB?
SurrealDB is an end-to-end cloud native database for web, mobile, serverless, jamstack, backend, and traditional applications. SurrealDB reduces the development time of modern applications by simplifying your database and API stack, removing the need for most server-side components, allowing you to build secure, performant apps quicker and cheaper. SurrealDB acts as both a database and a modern, realtime, collaborative API backend layer. SurrealDB can run as a single server or in a highly-available, highly-scalable distributed mode - with support for SQL querying from client devices, GraphQL, ACID transactions, WebSocket connections, structured and unstructured data, graph querying, full-text indexing, geospatial querying, and row-by-row permissions-based access.

Documentation
For guidance on installation, development, deployment, and administration, see our documentation.
Run using Docker
Docker can be used to manage and run SurrealDB database instances without the need to install any command-line tools. The SurrealDB docker container contains the full command-line tools for importing and exporting data from a running server, or for running a server itself.
docker run --rm --pull always --name surrealdb -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start
For just getting started with a development server running in memory, you can pass the container a basic initialization to set the user and password as root and enable logging.
docker run --rm --pull always --name surrealdb -p 8000:8000 surrealdb/surrealdb:latest start --log trace --user root --pass root memory
Access to the surrealdb CLI with:
docker exec -it <container_name> /surreal sql -c http://localhost:8000 -u root -p root --ns test --db test --pretty
Run using Docker Compose
The Docker image can be used with the docker-compose tool. It is possible to override the entrypoint to ask it to use the start command. Here is an exemple of docker-compose.yml file.
version: '3'
services:
surrealdb:
env_file:
- .env
entrypoint:
- /surreal
- start
- --user
- $DB_USER
- --pass
- $DB_PASSWORD
image: surrealdb/surrealdb:latest
ports:
- 8000:8000
