## The Hook

Turso puts SQLite at the edge, globally replicated.

## What's Good

SQLite simplicity with global distribution. Embedded replicas mean reads are local. libSQL adds features SQLite lacks. The latency benefits are real for edge-deployed applications.

## The Catch

SQLite limitations still apply—no concurrent writes from different regions. The embedded replica model has a learning curve. Less battle-tested than Postgres.

## Verdict

SQLite for the edge era, with surprising capabilities.
