- Why would you rewrite something that’s widely considered one of the best written and tested pieces of software in the world?by arnath
- I use Turso for a small project. Seems to work well. Hope this doesn’t change
- 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.
by bel8 - 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.
by vmg12 - 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.by integrallis
- SQLite/Turso probably offers a much better developer experience than Postgres for the overwhelming majority of projects on Supabase (especially for local testing and testing in ephemeral environments).by lukasschwab
- 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.by JoshTriplett
- 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.
