Turso
SQLite rewritten in Rust, distributed to the edge and per-tenant.
NOT REALLY
why this verdict
Keep it — Anthropic has not replaced it
Anthropic's version overlaps, but does not finish the dev tools job, so this one is still worth keeping open.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Managed Postgres providers moved into the same serverless niche. Anthropic, January 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 2 of 2 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Neon and Cloudflare D1.
- What the call is worth nothing to cancel
- No paid entry tier tracked, so there is no subscription to cancel.

The backstory
Turso's angle is a database so cheap to create that you can give every user, or every AI agent, their own. That per-tenant model does not really exist in the Postgres world, and it maps neatly onto agent workloads that want isolated, disposable state.
