Turso

Edge-hosted, distributed SQL database built on libSQL, a SQLite-compatible engine, designed for low-latency global access and scale. Deploy databases on servers, in browsers, or on devices, with full SQLite compatibility and support for embedded, offline, and cloud workloads.

Trusted by Prisma, Vercel, Val Town, Adaptive, and Kin for agent platforms, AI assistants, and multi-tenant apps. Unlike traditional client-server databases, Turso treats each agent or user as a first-class database owner, lightweight and local-first, capable of running in WebAssembly in the browser or on-device with built-in vector search for RAG workflows.

Key capabilities:

• Native vector search for AI apps and RAG pipelines, no extensions required
• Embedded SDKs for Rust, JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, with browser support via WebAssembly and OPFS
• Managed cloud databases with replication, branching, sync, and serverless access
• Async design using modern primitives such as Linux io_uring for responsive apps
• SQLite file-format and API compatibility for drop-in replacement

Use cases: AI agents and assistants that need per-agent databases, local-first mobile and web apps with offline sync, ephemeral databases for agent workflows with branch-and-rollback via API, and multi-tenant SaaS where each tenant gets an isolated database. SDKs integrate with Prisma, Laravel, ActiveRecord, and frameworks such as Next.js and React.
