AI is enabling builders to create an immense amount of software. Today, agents are spinning up millions of databases to power the prototypes, explorations, dashboards, and apps they're building. This new pattern, at this massive scale, requires an evolution in database infrastructure. Turso is joining Supabase to build this evolution. For existing users, nothing changes. Supabase will continue building around Postgres, while Turso will continue its work on SQLite.
Supabase is already launching over one million databases per week. As agents build more software, we believe database demand will outpace the world’s current capacity to support them. Agents should be able to create a database as easily as creating a file, with just as little concern about cost. SQLite is well suited to these small, on-demand workloads. Postgres is what you want as your application scales.
Turso has built an architecture for exactly this pattern. They rebuilt SQLite in Rust and created a cloud platform where a single server can manage millions of databases, loading them when needed and suspending them when they’re not. This architecture makes it possible to provision a database for each agent on demand.
We share a vision for how infrastructure needs to evolve to support agentic AI. Turso will continue operating, with a clear path into the broader Supabase ecosystem. We’re excited to welcome Glauber Costa and Pekka Enberg to Supabase with the rest of the Turso team. Glauber will lead this agentic infrastructure effort.
