Hi phailhaus, good point. We don't want to go for speed (for instance by writing to /dev/null) at any cost, but want SurrealDB to be a reliable and performant backend for any application in the long run. Obviously in our opinion, writing to /dev/null wouldn't make SurrealDB a proper database :) . We have a way to go to catch up with databases like PostgreSQL and other databases in terms of stability and performance, but we will strive to get there!

Yep especially considering the motto is always databases are slow. Of course they shouldn’t be unusable but the database isn’t meant to be your clients data model

But is it web scale?

Don't make me start using sarcasm tags. Sigh.
