    This is great, I was a little worried that the turso project's future was tied to the success of turso the company and it has impacted a few of my technical choices and has resulted in me choosing sqlite over turso a few times.

    I'll likely be choosing turso going forward for projects.

      ? are you seriously preferring a vibe coded project over the war tested sqlite?

        1. I've looked at how Turso verifies the correctness of their db and I'm satisfied with it.

        2. Turso supports features I want that don't exist and will not exist in sqlite.

        I mean this is pretty obvious, I'm not using sqlite because it doesn't do what I want it to do. I also don't understand the repeated "sqlite is the best tested software" sentiment. I don't care if it's the best tested if it doesn't do what I want it to do.

          That’s an interesting tradeoff, especially if this is a production grade application. Curious: what features is SQLite missing?

            Support for multiple concurrent writers and a better search extension.
