hi erikpukinskis, obviously SurrealDB can be run on your local development machine, or in your own cloud, so you would never have to connect to our servers for testing. In addition, we are releasing a number of client libraries which (in addition to connecting to a local or remote database server), will also allow you to run SurrealDB embedded i the language of your choice.

Coming soon are Nodejs native module (with embedded database functionality), Python (with embedded database functionality), WebAssembly (so you can run SurrealDB completely in your web browser), and C (with embedded database functionality).

In due course, we want to have native integrations for PHP, Java, and Swift too (and then more to come down the line).

This will mean that you could run tests without having to connect to any external service/platform/server!

Let me know if you have any other questions!
