Turso: Distributed SQLite for the Edge in 2026

Turso brings SQLite to the edge with global replication, enabling low-latency database access from anywhere in the world.

Why Turso?

• Global replication: Data close to users
• Embedded replicas: SQLite in your app
• SQLite compatibility: Use existing tools
• Low latency: Single-digit milliseconds

Getting Started

# Install CLI
curl -sSfL https://get.tur.so/install.sh | bash

# Create database
turso db create my-app

# Get connection URL
turso db show my-app --url

Using with Drizzle

import { drizzle } from "drizzle-orm/libsql";
import { createClient } from "@libsql/client";

const client = createClient({
  url: process.env.TURSO_URL,
  authToken: process.env.TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN,
});

const db = drizzle(client);

// Query like normal SQLite
const users = await db.select().from(usersTable);

Embedded Replicas

const client = createClient({
  url: "file:local.db",
  syncUrl: process.env.TURSO_URL,
  authToken: process.env.TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN,
});

// Sync from primary
await client.sync();
