Didn't have a good experience with them. One day we suddenly started to experience severe latency spikes, lasting for more than a day, causing timeouts. Unrelated to our DB which was small, even happened on trivial queries - a networking thing on their side. Google showed this to have happened before with certain regions of theirs. If you can't offer a certain region in a stable manner as a DB vendor, don't offer it. The whole point of outsourcing DB mangement is to take care of these things.

I am confused, this product appears to be an in-process DB, so what does "networking thing in their side" even mean?

Turso offers a cloud-hosted sqlite product. The idea is you can easily spin up per-tenant databases and have a "serverless" sqlite interface.

It feels like it has a lot of the same downsides of hosted databases so I'm not sure what the specific value is.

From their site they really emphasize local first syncing (so mobile apps and electron/tauri apps) and multi tenancy (hard database boundaries)

		Honestly I still don't understand how "cloud sqlite" isn't an oxymoron. I get it, Turso wants to actually make some money, but I just don't get it.

		Huh. That sucks but also isn’t surprising. Seems like putting this in the cloud eliminates most of its benefits though. If you’re going to wait for that much latency you might as well use a “real” (traditional big complicated) rdbms.

Sorry, the other replier is correct, it was about their cloud offering.
