    I do not feel good about this. I really want SQLite (and the Turso re-write of it) to win for tiny apps that people will build more and more with LLMs. Desktop or server. Even serverless.

    The core tech is open source so that is good. Will it stay? I guess Turso hosting was not making enough revenue?

        You mean, it has never happened that an acquiring company said this and then closed the acquired tech?

          I has happened, but supabase has a history of keeping things open source and Turso keeping its sqlite-focused mission is the plan.
