👋 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..

SurrealDB
Thank you so much @olynask 🚀 🎉 !
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 🚀 !

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 🎉 !
with this tools it can automate everything and a big help.
SurrealDB
Thanks @daigo_umehara 🚀 ! Let us know if you have any questions 🎉 .
SurrealDB is an excellent database. Its really a joy to work with. It deserves attention.
I have crafted both an MCP server and an n8n integration for it:
mcp server: https://github.com/nsxdavid/surrealdb-mcp-server
n8n node: https://github.com/nsxdavid/n8n-nodes-surrealdb
Both open-source... of course. :)
Big congrats on launching! I love how you’re tackling visualizing SurrealDB queries as interactive knowledge graphs..
I create short, clean UI animation videos and SaaS promos that help products like yours stand out, explain value fast, and feel way more premium.
If you’re open to it, I could mock up a quick preview video or animation for your UI — no pressure, just a gift to show you how smooth it could look in motion.
Would that be something you’d be open to?
