I am excited to announce that we are officially writing a new version of Postgres. In Rust - and creating the LLVM of databases in the process. In the span of a year, we have rewritten SQLite. Keeping the compatibility, increasing its feature set. MVCC, Types, (Live) Materialized Views, among other things. In the process of doing that, we have realized: At the end of the day, what makes SQLite special is that it compiles SQL to a database-specific bytecode. So why can't we compile *Postgres* to the same bytecode? Turns out we can. I ran an experiment called pgmicro as a way to prove this hypothesis, and it works very well. It is time to make this official, and put the weight of Turso behind it. We shall give the world a modern take on Postgres. Wire compatible, but built on a new architecture. We have already heard of others wanting to extend this. MySQL? Redis? the sky is the limit. What can we do if we do for databases what LLVM did for compilers? To prove how powerful the SQLite bytecode is, we are actually running DOOM compiled to the unmodified SQLite instruction set. And because Turso runs natively in the browser, you can play the game in your browser. With the database executing it. Read the full story below! 👇

Daytona has been killing it. Great to see.

The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once said: "The process may panic, the server may burn. Yet I am untroubled, for it is not events that disturb us, but our judgments about them. And my judgment is that the commit was fsynced to the logical log. Let the crash come; on recovery, I shall replay it as though nothing happened. Such is the way of nature, and of write-ahead logging." With these words of wisdom, I leave you with his direct descendent Peristocles, who enlighten us about the stoic nature of MVCC in Turso.

65F is the best weather possible amd nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

Support Emily!

We will open new positions soon for the Turso team. If you have experience writing databases and want to help us shape the future of a world with billions of databases - let me know!!!!!

more turso!

I follow this guy since forever and it is baffling to me he only has 15k followers. why not 150k ?

Weird that Ben Affleck uses python. I always saw him as more of a .bat man (if you are under 40 you probably won't understand this anyway so sorry about this)

I had a great time this year, and I am definitely looking forward to 2027!

I am proud of what we did at Turso. I was already proud of the journey, now of the outcome too. But what I am proud of the most is building the company at the same time I had my 5 kids. I am not going to lie: it was hard. Brutally hard, especially since for many of those years we couldn't really afford a lot of help. I still worked an insane amount of hours, including most weekends. Could we have done better if I didn't have my kids around ? I don't think so, but who knows? Maybe ? Perhaps I could have built more, done more, achieved more. But the thing is: as I look around and see them playing with each other, the question in my mind is: which one of them would I forego for more success ? If I could go back in time and have fewer, which of them I would give up so that I would accrue more of whatever the world has to give ? And the answer is obviously none. I love them all. If anything, if I could go back I would tell myself to start earlier. I was married for 10 years already when we had our first one. I didn't want any and didn't have any plans.

Go meet Daniel.
