What does HackerNews think of surrealdb?

A scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database, for the realtime web

Language: Rust

#30 in Database
#125 in Hacktoberfest
#2 in MongoDB
#9 in Serverless
#25 in SQL
I hope SurrealDB becomes mainstream.

RDBMS haven't evolved at all for a very long time but only doing minor incremental improvements and consumers have to turn to complex queries as the principle never changes. It's time we get something more modern.

- It has web UI to handle data.

- It can write logic with JS (The more logic in DB the better.)

- Can write a lot like SQL but way more powerful.

- Receive real time updates.

- Incremental backups.

Real graph databases support OpenCypher. It's still cool if you can't be bothered.

Hard to compete with Nebula (https://nebula-graph.io/), unless you're some kind of Rust Precog.

Sane C++, or even ASM-- wins in the short-term
