On October 2, 2026, Supabase announced that it was acquiring Turso, in a Supabase blog post on acquiring Turso. The stated goal was databases that agents can create as easily as a file, cheap and on demand, with a clear path to production.

What Supabase announced

Turso rebuilt SQLite in Rust and ran a cloud platform where a single server could manage millions of databases.
Supabase said it already launched more than one million databases per week.
Glauber Costa, Pekka Enberg and the rest of the Turso team were joining Supabase, and Glauber Costa would lead the agentic infrastructure effort.

What it meant for people who build with AI

Supabase was the default backend for several AI app builders, and the announcement made agent-scale database creation its stated priority. For people building with those tools, the backend behind them was moving toward databases that agents create on demand, with Turso's platform for managing millions of databases per server behind that effort.

What stayed the same

Supabase said it would keep building around Postgres, and Turso would continue its SQLite work, with nothing changing for existing users. Turso would also continue operating, with a path into the Supabase ecosystem as workloads grow.
