Episode notes
SQLite's Resurgence
- SQLite's recent growth is driven by its simplicity and resurgence of SQL.
- Developers prefer simple tools, and modern hardware handles workloads previously requiring NoSQL databases.
Turso's Origin
- Glauber Costa and his co-founder initially used SQLite for a different product.
- They forked SQLite due to its closed contribution policy and founded Turso.
NoSQL vs. SQL
- The rise of NoSQL databases was driven by hardware limitations rather than workload needs.
- Modern hardware allows SQL databases to handle previously NoSQL-exclusive workloads.
