libSQL
Also known as: libSQL / リブSQL
An open-source SQLite fork led by Turso that removes SQLite's limitations around WAL, HTTP connections, and replication. It powers Turso's edge DB with added replication, encryption, and remote connection support.
Overview
libSQL maintains full API and SQL compatibility with SQLite while adding features required for edge deployment. Existing SQLite applications can migrate to Turso with minimal code changes.
Significance for Edge DBs
The ability to connect over HTTP directly from Cloudflare or Vercel edge runtimes is libSQL's core innovation. See Turso edge SQLite explainer for details.
