Episode notes
Turso & Drizzle Partnership
- Turso sponsored Drizzle early on, not just for financial reasons, but because they believed in the project.
- Drizzle's developers, based in Ukraine, needed ORM support for wider adoption.
Turso's Focus: Server-Side SQLite
- Turso, a managed platform built around LibSQL (a fork of SQLite), prioritizes server-side use cases.
- It aims to improve SQLite's capabilities for production databases in server workloads.
Vector Search Integration
- Vector search, simplified, is being integrated into existing databases like SQLite and Postgres.
- This adoption eliminates the need for specialized vector databases in many cases.
