SurrealDB Earth launches serverless database on Cloudflare: 3M free requests, 330+ regions
mattturck · x · 2026-11-10
SurrealDB launched SurrealDB Earth, a serverless database running entirely on Cloudflare Workers, with a free tier offering 3M requests, 100 databases, unlimited egress across 330+ regions — no credit card required.
The pitch is "one database per agent, user, or customer": each Earth database is an isolated instance with dedicated storage and commit log, starts in 500ms (cold start 300ms) on first query, and scales to zero when idle while data stays durable in Cloudflare object storage.
Architecturally, a coordinator splits queries across Earth cells on Cloudflare, each reading its share from object storage at the same point in time before merging transactionally — the company claims 10+ billion rows scanned per second at peak, with regional storage, multi-region queries, and HTTP/WebSocket access.
