Turso

Edge-optimized SQLite database library with instant replication.

Overview

Turso serves LiteFS-based SQLite instances at the edge, delivering sub-millisecond reads and simple writes. It's the frontier choice for hackathons building latency-sensitive apps, serverless functions, or edge computing demos where traditional databases add overhead.

Best for

• Edge computing and serverless apps
• Projects requiring ultra-low latency reads
• Hackathons using Cloudflare Workers or Deno Deploy
