Turso
Globally distributed edge SQLite database, built on libSQL.
ABOUT
What is Turso?
Turso brings SQLite to the edge via libSQL, a compatible fork that adds HTTP access, multi-region replication and database sync. Especially useful for multi-tenant architectures where each user has their own database.

From the forums
In r/sqlite the discussion is interesting: people value the concept of distributed SQLite and the generous free tier for edge projects. The rewrite in Rust quickly generated 9k GitHub stars. The doubts are about production maturity and whether the libSQL model has a future against cloud Postgres.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How is Turso different from regular SQLite?＋
Turso uses libSQL, a 100% compatible SQLite fork, with distributed replication, HTTP access and multi-region sync built in.
Is it a good fit for write-heavy apps?＋
It is ideal for read-heavy, write-light workloads. Writes go through a primary node, which can add latency in write-intensive patterns.
