That's a hell lot of buzzwords (GPT-3 trained with HN titles, eh?). Does "serverless" and "cloud-native" database together even make any sense? Idk, but I feel like these folks are doing too much pointless marketing when the core product literally just "borrows" code from other databases without any credit to them.
Came across this rather interesting issue on their own repo: https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb/issues/103
I think it's time we say "Stable Diffusion Powered Hyperfast Scalable Ultimate Cloud-Native Kubernetes Native Document Graph Relational NewNoSQL Database"
Enough of the buzzwords on HN, honestly.

If you look inside the code you can see the stated features are a result of underlying engine (TiKV [0] also in c and rust from pingcap). Surrealdb is standing on shoulders of giants at present, they are TiKV, FoundationDB and rocksdb. The feature set they mentioned mostly coming from TiKV at present.

To be honest I haven't used it, but I've extensively used pl/pgsql and a little pl/ruby, and know that https://plv8.github.io/ exists - it might be what you're looking for and it's on my list of things to play with
I’ve made quick and messy SurrealDB usage example for authentication and user data storage in a Flutter app: https://github.com/wrbl606/flutter_surrealdb_client_example
