    I hope they will put more resources into fixing issues. I remember there were multiple attempts to add it to ClickBench, but each time new bugs were found.It should not be X times slower than SQLite.https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/issues/336https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench/pull/1009

    I really, really hope that Turso survives this, and doesn't become another "incredible journey". I'm excited about Turso as a technology, both as a better sqlite and as something theoretically capable of becoming an embeddable postgres-compatible database.

    Supabase is a great product, we use it for all of our products, but we also need OSS solutions that can be self-hosted. For Supabase, I hope the platform improves. SQLite has become the standard, we need that standard (other than the SQL93 part) to be created and maintained so that other can drop a paid for product and handle the server-side themselves is the choose to.

    This is great, I was a little worried that the turso project's future was tied to the success of turso the company and it has impacted a few of my technical choices and has resulted in me choosing sqlite over turso a few times.I'll likely be choosing turso going forward for projects.

    GGs to the team!I'm a big fan of Glauber's work. He gives me the same neo-hacker vibe as Jarred, of Bun.So this is pleasant news to me.

    I use Turso for a small project. Seems to work well. Hope this doesn’t change

    We're seeing a lot of acquisitions in this space. First Electric (pglite) was acquired by DataBricks (Neon) now this.

    I do not feel good about this. I really want SQLite (and the Turso re-write of it) to win for tiny apps that people will build more and more with LLMs. Desktop or server. Even serverless.The core tech is open source so that is good. Will it stay? I guess Turso hosting was not making enough revenue?

    Congrats! The team is very based and I've learned a lot contributing to Turso, amazing people

    Always been a fan of Supabase, but didn't expect this. Curious to see what comes of it!

    I’ve been watching Turso for a while. A very exciting project, and I’m excited to see what comes with the acquisition (especially seeing as Glauber’s stoked by it.)

    Why would you rewrite something that’s widely considered one of the best written and tested pieces of software in the world?
  • orliesaurus
    Any guesses on how much they paid?
  • buckleyourshoe
    We use Turso for async in Rust projects. It's performance has been very good. Looking forward to what comes from this

    I didn't know the company, but it turns out they have a great mindset.

    Could be fun.made product on top of it.Pro plan is still too much, but free quota is too little.having a hard time balancing my hobby project.Still there's not really many alternatives, so probably we'll stick with it.Decent service.

    I feel like this makes a lot of sense and is a rare win-win-win (supabase-turso-customers being the parties).
  • rvz
    Open source never pays the bills, nor do users here ever pay for open source.

    Congrats Glauber!
