Turso, co-founded by Glauber Costa, originated from efforts to improve the developer experience with SQLite and evolved into a robust database company through the creation of the open-source fork libSQL. Choosing to focus on Turso, the team developed a managed service that has grown to support scalable, distributed applications with features like instant database deployment and multi-region replication, underpinned by a serverless, pay-as-you-go pricing model. Glauber emphasizes Turso's commitment to fostering a global community, highlighted by an upcoming event in Brazil featuring notable developer influencer The Primeagen.
