Supabase agrees to acquire Turso to give agents on-demand SQLite databases with a path to Postgres as workloads grow

What changed

Supabase announced on October 2 that it is acquiring Turso to build database infrastructure for agents that create large numbers of small, short-lived databases. Turso rebuilt SQLite in Rust and built a cloud architecture where one server can manage millions of databases by loading them on demand and suspending them when idle. Supabase says Turso will continue developing SQLite while Supabase remains centered on Postgres, with a shared path from lightweight agent prototypes to production workloads. The Turso team is joining Supabase and co-founder Glauber Costa will lead the agentic infrastructure effort. The announcement does not disclose financial terms.
