Turso, the next evolution of SQLite (previously codenamed "Limbo") reaches its first alpha milestone and first official release. We are so confident in our foundations, that we are offering you $1,000 if you find any data corruption bugs through our partnership with @algoraio (more details below) We understand that you love SQLite because of its legendary reliability. Which is why we wrote Turso with two layers of Deterministic Simulation Testing to generate the most improbable combinations of corner cases and surface every bug: our own, built-in to the project, and our partnership with @AntithesisHQ that catches every bug that survives the simulator. Including bugs in the simulator itself. We are rewriting SQLite because we believe that despite its incredible track record, SQLite could be more. And the secret to unlocking this is an open community of contributors that can unleash the true power of Open Source. In the months leading up to the alpha, Turso has already counted more than 120 contributors. And we are hoping you are next. For the upcoming beta, work has already started on features like concurrent writes, better schema changes, and change data capture. All features we constantly hear from people are sorely needed in SQLite. Performance was not the focus of our alpha. Yet, some workloads already perform a lot better on Turso. Which is why companies like @spice_ai are reaching for Turso as a replacement for SQLite to accelerate AI workloads. Lastly, we are testing Turso, A LOT. It would be a lot harder to do this without the high performance CI infrastructure that @useblacksmith provides. Learn more about Turso 👇
