Turso Has a Free Tier — Edge SQLite Database With 9GB Storage, Embedded Replicas, and libSQL

SQLite is the most deployed database in the world. But it only works on a single machine. You cannot share it across servers, replicate it globally, or use it in serverless functions. Turso fixes this. It takes SQLite and makes it distributed, replicated, and edge-native — using libSQL, their open-source fork. The free tier gives you 9GB storage and 500 databases. What You Get for Free 9 GB total storage — across all databases 500 databases — each with its own schema 3 locations — primary + 2 replicas Embedded replicas — in-process SQLite replica in your app 500M rows read/month — generous read quota 25M rows written/month — generous write quota libSQL — SQLite fork with ALTER COLUMN, RANDOM ROWID, HTTP API Quick Start 1.
