Turso

/ˈtɜːr.soʊ/ · Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. An edge-hosted database platform built on libSQL (a fork of SQLite) that replicates lightweight SQLite databases to data centers close to users. It gives applications the simplicity of SQLite with the multi-region availability of a distributed database, using embedded replicas that sync from a primary.

    In plain English: A cloud database service that puts copies of your SQLite database close to your users around the world for faster access.

    Example: "We put a Turso replica in every Fly.io region so reads are single-digit milliseconds — writes still go to the primary, but our app is 95% reads anyway."
