The editorial note

What to know about Turso

Turso is a distributed SQLite database built on libSQL that deploys to 35+ edge locations globally. It creates a separate SQLite database per user (or per tenant), allowing multi-tenant applications to keep data isolated and close to users. With a generous free plan (500 databases), Turso is popular for Next.js apps, Cloudflare Workers, and applications where local SQLite-like performance at global edge is needed.
