Very good idea, I feel like we can implement a set of plugins for SurrealDB.

I can help ..

The primary use case is edge nodes where the data mutations running through the message broker into the db.

it’s a simple CQRS pattern where reads hit the db and writes hit. the message queue. Typically a director ( or proxy ) is added to sniff the SQL and forward the request to the right thing. So then it’s automatic.

so a plugin would sit on all db nodes and subscribe to events and transact them into the db .

The main advantage is that you can have many db instances and they are serverless too. Serverless in that a new empty db can be started and it will fill up with data by getting all old messages.

you can have 3 db in each continent with all staying in sync ( eventual consistency ).

However, I don't have any scenarios involving SurrealDB in my work, so I don't know how to implement a SurrealDB plugin. Can you help me with it?

I am pretty bad at rust. Am more of s golang dev.
I was thinking about the plugins being a wasm runner so that it’s possible to write plugins in any language. It’s not that hard these days with wasm rust being pretty mature.

The plugins are making network calls or direct api calls to the main rust code ? I ask because it matters in terms of interoperability complexity for wasm based plugins
