Turso
Edge SQLite database. Replicate globally, query locally.
Plain language
What is it?
A database that runs at the 'edge' — meaning it stores copies of your data close to users all around the world, so your app feels fast everywhere.
Why use it at a hackathon?
When your app needs to work fast globally, or even partially offline — Turso replicates data close to wherever your users are.
Common use
Disaster response apps that need to work in low-connectivity areas, food supply tracking across regions, field health worker tools.
