Supabase is acquiring Turso

Always been a fan of Supabase, but didn't expect this. Curious to see what comes of it!
theflyingelvis•47m ago
I use Turso for a small project. Seems to work well. Hope this doesn’t change
vmg12•46m ago
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.

kilroy123•42m ago
UGH as a turso customer, I do not want this.
glommer•12m ago
Write me a message to my email directly or hit me up on Discord.

We are very excited to be a part of Supabase

buckleyourshoe•42m ago
We use Turso for async in Rust projects. It's performance has been very good. Looking forward to what comes from this
f311a•40m ago
I hope they will put more resources into fixing issues. I remember there were multiple attempts to add it to ClickBench, but each time new bugs were found.

It should not be X times slower than SQLite.

On 22nd of July

> It was loading the data for a week already, and the speed of loading data has dropped to 4 kilobytes per second, and it will take years to load the dataset.

And then on 2nd of August

> It loaded maybe 1% of the data so far.

And then one year after

> I didn't load the data after a year. > I tried it with the fsync removed, but even then it does not work

Ok, I find this more entertaining than I should and almost unbelievable. I know that this codebase was heavily written by LLMs but the execution can't be this bad?

What am I missing and why would Supabase buy the product which can't even load the dataset properly?

brainless•38m ago
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 just answered your own question. Why would anyone pay for Turso if the core of the software is available for free and being licenced permissively under MIT?

_bohm•19m ago
Because they don't want to self-host/manage it. It looks like this is an acquisition, not an acquihire, so it's unclear whether or not Turso was making enough to sustain itself or not. There are plenty of companies out there who release open source software and make money off of hosted/managed offerings of it.
glommer•14m ago
Turso CEO here.

We were doing fine.

This is a strategic acquisition and I fell in love with the vision Supabase had for how they would use Turso going forward.

More to come

Open source never pays the bills, nor do users here ever pay for open source.

I feel like this makes a lot of sense and is a rare win-win-win (supabase-turso-customers being the parties).

Why would you rewrite something that’s widely considered one of the best written and tested pieces of software in the world?
ezekg•18m ago
Liability. Compliance. Chain-of-responsibility. Risk. This has always been the case in business, and it will continue to be the case (at least until artificial intelligence actually replaces that need).
ezekg•19m ago
> I guess Turso hosting was not making enough revenue?

I would guess it's more that the founders want to exit before AI replaces them. (Based on the doom-and-gloom narrative in tech right now...)

I am fully onboard with LLM generated code if that is what you mean. I literally get client work titled "Need Claude led Engineer". SQLite is a great option for the LLM enabled future.

brainless•6m ago
Thanks but you do understand this makes it hard for folks to select Turso. With all good intentions parent companies kill acquisitions.

Supabase is hosted Postgres with wings. Turso seemed like it would be the same but using SQLite based approach.

So either Supabase now uses the Turso sync + Postgres or something that needs Turso or abandons it. Not sure and I am not asking, just sharing my thoughts.

Love what you folks have been doing.
