Turso
Auth & InfrastructureSQLite-compatible embedded database that syncs to cloud, built for AI agents and local-first applications with vector search.
Turso is a Rust-based rewrite of SQLite designed for the agentic AI era, enabling millions of lightweight database instances that run embedded in applications, browsers, and devices. It features native vector search, async design with concurrent writes, offline-first sync capabilities, and full SQLite compatibility. Currently in beta with 18K GitHub stars, Turso solves the multi-tenancy and scaling challenges of traditional SQLite while maintaining its embedded nature, making it ideal for AI agents, mobile apps, and local-first architectures that need to sync with Turso Cloud.
