Turso

What Turso does

Turso's core pitch is a different database architecture: instead of one big shared database per application, you run a fleet of isolated databases — one per user, agent, or tenant. Because it's built on SQLite, each database is lightweight enough that creating thousands or millions of them is cheap to provision and operate.

The platform has two parts:

• Open-source Turso — SQLite-compatible, runs on your laptop, servers, or devices. Free.
• Turso Cloud — managed provisioning, replication, observability, BYOC, and per-database encryption. Self-serve from signup.

Notable capabilities

• Per-entity isolation — create databases programmatically via API/SDK (the homepage shows TypeScript examples creating a database per user or agent).
• Embedded replication — run the same database on a device and sync with the cloud; read and write locally with offline support.
• Security — per-database encryption with customer-held keys, bring-your-own-cloud deployment on AWS, data residency controls. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA-ready per the site.
• SDKs — TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Go.

Who uses it

The homepage lists Superhuman, Mastra, Val Town, Drizzle, Poke, and Spice AI among others. Case studies include Engine Labs (tens of thousands of AI agent teams coordinating through their own databases on a $500/month plan), Adaptive (over 2 million databases, one per app version), and Poke.com (a database provisioned per generated website).

Pricing

Turso has a pricing page and a free Cloud tier ("Try Cloud free" is the primary signup CTA). Specific plan details aren't in the homepage content — check turso.tech/pricing.
