What does HackerNews think of surrealdb?
A scalable, distributed, collaborative, document-graph database, for the realtime web
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.
(Many examples on the landing page.)
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
