Hands-On with SurrealDB: Exploring Key Features in Practice 2024-11-04 · 20:00 Getting Started with SurrealDB is a 3-part online workshop series hosted by Women Coding Community in collaboration with SurrealDB. During these hands-on workshops, Caroline Morton - software engineer and senior research fellow at SurrealDB - will demonstrate SurrealDB's functionality and use cases, both as a traditional relational database, as well as highlighting the additional features and benefits of a multi-model database. -- Hands-On with SurrealDB: Exploring Key Features in Practice This session will provide a practical exploration of some of SurrealDB’s key out-of-the-box features. We’ll focus on fundamental operations such as CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete), schema definition, and SurrealDB’s unique "Get functions." Additionally, we’ll take a look at the Surreal Store demo dataset to see how these features can be applied in real-world scenarios. The session will emphasise hands-on learning rather than covering every feature in detail, giving participants an opportunity to engage with the database directly. We'll also take time to reflect on the pros and cons of the features we explore, providing a balanced understanding of where SurrealDB excels and where it may have limitations.
