Build smarter knowledge graphs for data-rich applications
Surrealist lets you visualise SurrealDB queries as interactive knowledge graphs. Instantly spot patterns, explore relationships, and bring your data to life with real-time insights powered by graphs, vectors, and documents—all in one place.
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. 🙌
