Why deploy on Railyard

Railyard runs it standalone on a server you already pay for — no addons to provision, with zero-downtime deploys and scaling still included.

Deploying SurrealDB is one piece of a bigger stack you can keep building — add a database, a worker, a cache, or another app, all on the same servers you already pay for.

Good for

A multi-model database (documents, graph, key-value) behind one query language
Realtime apps that want live queries pushed over WebSocket instead of polling
Prototyping without picking a schema shape upfront, backed by durable RocksDB storage

Good to know

Uses the embedded RocksDB storage engine on the mounted volume — no separate database server to manage
Connect with the `surreal` CLI, any SurrealDB SDK, or the HTTP API using the root user and generated SURREAL_PASSWORD
