The great SQLite rewrite

Turso just dropped the alpha of its Rust-based SQLite rethink—rewritten from scratch to handle today’s mess: async APIs, built-in vector search, and actual concurrent writes.

Forget the old SQLite playbook. Turso’s version leans into modularity, bakes in deterministic tests, and still aims for SQLite-level reliability. Only now it’s built to flex—edge, AI, serverless, whatever.
