Turso & libSQL

Turso is a SQLite-compatible managed database platform built on libSQL — a production-ready, open-contribution fork of SQLite. libSQL adds native vector search, extensions, and async I/O while remaining fully backward-compatible with SQLite.

libSQL vs. Turso Database: libSQL is the battle-tested fork used by Turso Cloud today. Turso Database is a ground-up rewrite optimized for extreme density and concurrent writes (currently in beta). For new projects with stable workloads, use libSQL via Turso Cloud. For new projects targeting agents, on-device, or high-density use cases, consider Turso Database.
