SaaS developers use this free database for multi-tenant apps, leveraging cheap database-per-tenant scaling. Best for edge reads, not heavy writes.
Turso works well when deploying multi-tenant SaaS applications that benefit from spinning up cheap, isolated per-tenant databases at the edge. The friction starts when workloads require advanced relational features like stored procedures or face write-heavy, high-throughput demands where SQLite's architecture falls short. Before buying, compare vs PlanetScale, which provides a MySQL-compatible serverless database built for high-throughput horizontal scaling rather than SQLite-based edge replication.
