Turso
SQLite-compatible edge database built for low-latency apps and sync-heavy products
About Turso
Turso is a managed database platform built on libSQL, a SQLite-compatible database designed for distributed applications. It helps developers place data closer to users without taking on a large database operations burden.
It is appealing for apps that want SQLite ergonomics with production hosting, branching, replicas, and modern SDKs. Builders use it for SaaS apps, local-first features, bots, and edge workloads.
