Turso alternatives
3 open-source projects that already do this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.

What you give up either way
- Production-grade multi-region scale and SLA
- Advanced concurrent-write guarantees and conflict-resolution built into Turso's engine
- Branching / instant copy-on-write database branches
- Built-in sync/replication and embedded WASM/browser runtime features
- Enterprise features: long retention point-in-time restore, audit logs, SOC2/HIPAA attestation and BYOK
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Turso, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
