Building Real-Time AI Pipelines with SurrealDB


Modern AI stacks are often stitched together with fragile components. This session demonstrates how SurrealDB replaces them with a real-time, all-in-one pipeline engine.

About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Today’s AI stacks are riddled with ETL jobs, brittle connectors, and duplicated pipelines across databases and model layers.


This session shows how to collapse all that complexity into a single, real-time system using SurrealDB.


We’ll walk through building intelligent AI pipelines without external graph engines, vector stores, or job schedulers. You’ll see how to model both structured and semantic flows in one place, all powered by SurrealDB’s native graph and vector support.


In this session, we’ll demo:

  • How to eliminate traditional ETL steps when designing AI pipelines
  • Storing both tabular and vector data inside SurrealDB
  • Building live-updating semantic layers for AI-driven products
  • Deploying your system with just a few clicks on the cloud


Whether you're scaling LLM apps or trying to simplify your stack, this talk will show you how to build production-grade AI systems with fewer moving parts.
