Turso
Distributed edge SQLite. Multi-region replicas, <10ms latency everywhere. Based on libSQL (SQLite fork).
Strengths
- Distributed edge SQLite, <10ms latency regardless of region
- Ultra-generous free tier: 500 DBs, 9 GB storage, 25B rows read/month
- SQLite-compatible, easy migration from existing local SQLite project
- Embedded replicas: local DB synced with cloud, zero read latency
Limitations
- No auth, no storage, no Realtime, just the DB
- SQLite not suited for heavy concurrent writes (vs PostgreSQL)
- Shines mainly in edge workers, overkill for classic SPAs
- No built-in migrations, requires Drizzle ORM or custom tooling
Best for
- Cloudflare/Deno edge workers needing ultra-low latency DB
- Multi-tenant apps with one DB per tenant (500 free DBs)
- Mobile-first or IoT projects where embedded SQLite is natural
