Turso is a database platform built on SQLite for applications that need many small, isolated databases rather than one shared store. Its architecture lets developers create a separate database for each user, AI agent, or tenant, supporting privacy, data isolation, and efficient scaling. Turso combines SQLite compatibility with cloud infrastructure, allowing databases to run locally, on devices, or in production.

The open-source Turso engine runs on laptops, servers, and devices, while Turso Cloud offers managed provisioning, replication, observability, backups, and per-database encryption. Embedded replication keeps local and cloud copies in sync, enabling offline-capable and local-first products. Developers can use SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Go, and manage databases through an API.

For enterprise deployments, Turso offers customer-held encryption keys, bring-your-own-cloud deployment on AWS, and data-residency options. The platform is designed for AI agents, multi-tenant software, and other applications requiring numerous databases. Turso also supports an open-source community around libSQL, with documentation, code contributions, and developer support.
