{"id":"turso-api","name":"Turso","af_score":59.9,"security_score":72.0,"reliability_score":null,"what_it_does":"Turso is an edge-deployed database platform built on libSQL — an open-source fork of SQLite with extensions for network access, replication, and encryption. It enables the database-per-user or database-per-tenant architecture at scale: each user or tenant gets a fully isolated SQLite database deployed to the nearest edge location globally. The Platform API manages organizations, databases, groups, and auth tokens. The HTTP API (Hrana protocol) executes SQL queries against individual databases. Turso is ideal for multi-tenant SaaS applications, mobile offline-first apps, and edge computing use cases where low latency and data isolation are paramount.","best_when":"An agent needs to provision or query SQLite-compatible databases at the edge, especially for multi-tenant architectures where each tenant has a fully isolated database with global replication and no operational overhead.","avoid_when":"You need PostgreSQL semantics, high-concurrency writes, or very large single-database workloads beyond SQLite's practical limits.","last_evaluated":"2026-03-01T09:50:06.315735+00:00"}
