SurrealDB is a Rust multi-model database and context layer for AI agents: documents, graphs, vectors, time-series, and relations are native in one ACID engine, no stitched stores. Query with SurrealQL, connect via MCP, WebSocket, and SDKs, with GraphQL generated from your schema. Built-in auth, permissions, HTTP APIs, and live queries reduce separate backend glue. Runs embedded, at the edge, or as a highly-scalable cluster in the cloud. Same engine, everywhere.

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I’m the CEO and Co-founder of SurrealDB, a multi-model database built for developers who want flexibility without complexity.
I’ve personally experienced how frustrating it can be to manage databases when all you want to do is build. That’s why we built Surrealist — a visual, intuitive, and seamless interface that makes managing your databases feel effortless.
But we didn’t stop there.
🚀 Today, we’re excited to launch a brand new feature in Surrealist: Graph visualisation.
Now, you can build and explore knowledge graphs with ease — visually, interactively, and without writing complex queries.
With the new graph visualisation, you can:
👁️ Instantly visualise relationships between records
🔗 Explore data as connected entities
⚙️ Build and debug complex graphs in seconds
🧠 Understand your data’s structure at a glance
We believe database tools should be just as elegant and powerful as the databases they support. Surrealist aims to remove friction and help developers move faster — and this new feature is a huge step in that direction.
We’d love your feedback and thoughts — and we're here to answer any questions. 🙌
@tobiemh cool stuff, honestly..

Absolutely mind-blowing launch! The way Surrealist turns complex queries into intuitive visual graphs is game-changing. This is exactly what developers have been waiting for—speed, clarity, and power, all in one. Huge congrats to the team

Hey @suryansh_tiwari2 - I am Julian, the developer who worked on Surrealist with Tobie. Thanks for the shoutout! Let me know if I can help in any way!
SurrealDB
@suryansh_tiwari2 Suryansh, thank you very much for the kind words! 💜
SurrealDB
Thank you so much@suryansh_tiwari2 🎉 . We're constantly working to simplify how developers work with graphs, alongside other data types! Always feel free to ask if you have any questions 🚀 .

Love the approach, we use knowledge graphs quite heavily and love idea to be able to visualize it. Definitely sharing this with our data/ML engineer 👀
SurrealDB
That's fantastic to hear @larissalicha ! If you or your team have any questions, feel free to let me know!
SurrealDB
@larissalicha Thank you very much, Larissa! Would love to hear what they think!
SurrealDB
Glad you like it @larissalicha 🎉 . Would love to know your and your teams' thoughts as you try it out 😀 !

Looks like a powerful tool. Amazing launch. We just launched Mukh.1 too - AI agents to help free up your day. Give it a look!
SurrealDB
@farrukh_anwaar Thank you very much, Farrukh! Will check out Mukh.1 too!
SurrealDB
Thanks @farrukh_anwaar 🎉 ! Great launch for @Mukh.1 too 🚀 - the tool looks super useful! Will definitely check it out!

You guys should throw a party with @Alfred !
Seriously though — what's the underlying database format you're using? Postgres? MySQL? Something novel?
SurrealDB
Haha we definitely should @chrismessina 😀 ! As a little background story, the Surrealist hat icon 🎩 itself is based on the hat in the famous surrealism painting 'Son of Man' by René Magritte (there's a theme 😀). But we are massive macOS users here at @SurrealDB and @Alfred has always been such a powerful app!
The underlying database format is actually a new engine we built from the ground up to handle multi-model data (document, graph, relational, time-series, geospatial) in a single engine, with a SQL query language. Would love for you to try it out and let us know your thoughts 🎉 !

Congratulations!
The interactions and animations are so smooth that it makes me want to make more products :)
SurrealDB
Thanks so much @pritraveler 😀 ! @macjuul is a wizard when it comes to user interfaces 🚀 !
Spotting patterns in real-time with graph visualization? This is how data should be experienced - intuitively!
