libSQL is an open-source, community-driven fork of SQLite maintained by Turso. It aims to modernize SQLite by optimizing for performance and availability, targeting distributed and low-latency applications. SQLite has solidified its place in modern technology stacks, embedded in nearly any computing device you can think of. Its open source nature and public domain availability make it a popular choice for modification to meet specific use cases. libSQL will always be able to ingest and write the SQLite file format. We would love to add extensions like encryption, and CRC that require the file to be changed. But we commit to always doing so in a way that generates standard SQLite files if those features are not used.

Features

  • Fully compatible fork of SQLite with shared API and file format
  • Optimized for low query latency and high availability in distributed environments
  • Designed to support modern app patterns like global applications and real-time workflows
  • Open-source with community contribution via MIT license
  • Backed by Turso ecosystem (e.g., Turso Cloud) for production workloads
  • Aims for modern architecture while retaining SQLite familiarity
