Turso: Modern SQLite Evolution

  • Turso evolves SQLite with Rust for a scalable, distributed database with async IO and AI-centric features like vector search.
  • It’s not production-ready but represents a modern rethinking of SQLite’s architecture and capabilities.
INSIGHT

Litestream Enables SQLite Replication

  • Litestream continuously streams changes from SQLite to cloud blob storage for simple, cheap failover and replication.
  • This approach keeps using native SQLite but adds fault tolerance and cloud syncing without changing SQLite itself.

PEP 792 Simplifies Project Status

  • PEP 792 proposes a single project status marker for PyPI packages: active, archived, quarantined, or deprecated.
  • This clarifies multiple confusing existing status signals and enhances dependency resolution and security.
