Overview of Torso and SQLite's Rising Popularity

Turso is a managed platform built on a fork of SQLite, known as libSQL, designed for distributed applications. The developers of Torso recognized the limitations of traditional SQLite, which has been primarily used in mobile devices and appliances, and sought to adapt it for server-side workloads. The decision to fork SQLite was motivated by the need for a database that could efficiently handle production workloads while maintaining SQLite's lightweight nature. With its growing interest among developers, Torso aims to elevate SQLite's public perception and utility in modern application development.
