We are a year into rewriting SQLite. How is that going?

Turso is evolving SQLite by introducing features like Concurrent Writes, Change Data Capture, and native vector search that address modern database demands, especially in the context of AI and agentic workloads. Over the past year, Turso has grown a strong open-source community and aims to close the compatibility gap with SQLite while offering innovative capabilities such as native encryption, materialized views with incremental maintenance, and custom types. The Turso Cloud supports these advancements with a new multitenant server architecture on AWS, facilitating quick deployment and efficient resource management while maintaining 100% availability. The platform also offers Bring-Your-Own-Key encryption, enhancing data security for individual databases. Looking forward, Turso plans to integrate seamlessly with the Turso Cloud, enabling feature-rich, compliant, and secure database solutions through a Bring-Your-Own-Cloud model, which keeps data within the user's infrastructure. The growing demand for such databases, driven by AI, underscores the need for Turso's innovations as it continues to expand its capabilities and user base.
