Hi Fireship! SurrealDB Founder here with my brother Tobie. Wow! Thank you very much indeed for this video! Just the two of us at the moment but aiming to grow very quickly. We are working on lots of performance improvements, GraphQL integration, and our own key-value storage engine coming in due course. Thank you once again for this video! We really appreciate it.

Respect for the people undertaking these challenges. Databases are getting exciting these days.

This is one of the coolest new DB projects I’ve seen in a while.

A fairly interesting part of this project IMO is its license - the core is not actually FOSS, it's under a permissive version of BSL that allows for basically any usage outside of offering DBaaS (which is how they're planning to monetize it), but they commited to a rolling time limit where the license for each release will convert to Apache License 2.0 after 4 years.
Which honestly seems like an interesting compromise between preventing a Cloud platform from just taking the code and ultimately having it fully open (albeit after some time) so that even if development stops someone might at least pick up an older version.

This is the coolest looking project I've seen in a long time! Even for Fireship I've never had so many ideas "click" or gone from "who cares?" to "oh no that seems really useful!" so quickly before.

The timing is impeccable, I literally found out about the project yesterday!

another db to put 10 years of experience in my portfolio

OMG, I noticed this project over the weekend and was wondering when it will be covered by Fireship 100s series, and here it comes! 😃

This database is the most exciting project I've seen in a good long time. Glad it is generating some buzz.

[scienctv]

I think I never wanted a project to succeed like this one!

Keep up guys!

Was waiting for your video since the day I discovered SurrealDB. Congrats to the two founders. They made a fantastic product.

Javascript inside a SQL query 🤯. What's next? Machine learning interpreting queries like 'Select my favorite puppy'? Awesome

[codetothemoon]

Thanks, fantastic video! Glad this thing is getting the attention it deserves!

[nicky_rads]

Woah, really cool project! All the bells and whistles. Looking forward to the extended cut

[Brajgamer]

This sounds too good to believe, would love to see some critical reviews of this.

[cddelgado]

This is easily the most wild database I've ever seen. I had to stop and count the months because I thought it was an April Fools joke at first. This is amazing and I dread the day I find the project that needs it.

[davidyoder]

Really looking forward to the deeper dive on your new channel!

[athreyamurali]

I look at these new database designs and wonder how people can be this innovative. This looks so cool, definitely would want to explore the creators' design process for this.

As a DBA this is pretty cool. Once I started learned about NewSQL databases about 8 years ago. I knew it would be the future.

[leetaeryeo]

I learned about this db earlier this week and I’m not gonna lie, it’s got me excited about recent db developments.
