Turso

SQLite at the edge

FreemiumFree TierAdded Oct 1, 2022

About

Turso brings SQLite to the edge — a managed database built on libSQL (their open-source fork of SQLite) that replicates globally for low-latency reads from anywhere. Each database is embedded SQLite that can be read locally and synced globally. Perfect for edge computing, local-first apps, and serverless architectures where Postgres is too heavy.

Origin Story

By Glauber Costa

The Problem

Postgres and MySQL are great but heavy for edge and serverless. SQLite is perfect for embedded use but needed global replication and management.

Building It

Founded libSQL (open-source SQLite fork) and built Turso as the managed platform on top of it. Growing in the serverless and edge computing community.

What It Means

SQLite is the most deployed database in the world. Now it can be used in production with global replication and edge reads.

The Dream

To make SQLite the database of the edge computing era.
