Tutorial: Build a Notes App with Next.js, Tailwind and SurrealDB

SurrealDB, a versatile multi-model cloud database, supports various applications such as serverless, jamstack, single-page, and traditional applications, offering functionalities like SQL querying, GraphQL, ACID transactions, and more. This tutorial demonstrates building a full-stack note-taking application, "Surreal Stickies," using SurrealDB for database operations, Next.js for server-rendered React applications, SWR for reactive data fetching, and Tailwind CSS for styling. The application enables users to add, update, and delete notes, underpinned by CRUD APIs constructed with SurrealDB's JavaScript driver, which facilitates querying over WebSockets. The tutorial outlines creating API routes for handling CRUD operations and setting up a responsive user interface using Next.js and Tailwind CSS, with state management and API interactions handled by custom hooks leveraging the SWR library. Through this process, the tutorial illustrates the potential of SurrealDB to serve as a robust backend with advanced features, while highlighting the integration of a modern tech stack to build a functional and aesthetically pleasing web application.
