Bun Is a Toolkit, Not Just a Runtime
Bun packs a runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner into one binary. Here is how those four parts fit together and where the seams still show.

Supabase is acquiring Turso
Summary
Supabase is acquiring Turso to evolve database infrastructure for the massive scale of AI agent-created databases. Supabase already launches over one million databases per week and expects demand to outpace capacity as agents build more software. Turso rebuilt SQLite in Rust, creating a cloud platform where a single server manages millions of databases, loading them on demand and suspending them when idle, avoiding dedicated machines for small workloads. This architecture suits agent workloads needing cheap, on-demand databases, while Postgres remains the path for scaling to production; Turso will continue operating independently with a clear path into Supabase’s ecosystem, and for existing users nothing changes. Glauber Costa will lead the agentic infrastructure effort, and the combined mission is to store the world’s data as agents create more of it.
Context
AI agents are creating millions of databases for prototypes, explorations, dashboards, and apps. Supabase already launches over one million databases per week and expects demand to outpace capacity. Turso’s architecture, which rebuilt SQLite in Rust, allows a single server to manage millions of databases on demand, suiting small agent workloads. Postgres is for scaling applications. The acquisition aims to bring the Supabase experience to every agent, with Turso continuing independently and Glauber Costa leading agentic infrastructure.
Approach / What changed
Turso rebuilt SQLite in Rust to create a cloud platform where a single server manages millions of databases, loading them on demand and suspending them when idle, avoiding dedicated machines for small workloads. This architecture enables provisioning a database for each agent on demand, on Turso Cloud or customers’ own clouds.
Takeaways
Supabase launches over one million databases per week and expects demand to outpace capacity as agents build more software.
Turso rebuilt SQLite in Rust to create a platform where a single server manages millions of databases, loading and suspending them on demand.
The acquisition combines SQLite for small agent workloads with Postgres for scaling to production, with Turso continuing independently.
FAQ
What happens to existing Turso users?
Nothing changes for existing users. Turso will continue operating independently with a clear path into the broader Supabase ecosystem as workloads grow.
Why is Supabase acquiring Turso?
To evolve database infrastructure for the massive scale of AI agent-created databases. SQLite suits small on-demand agent workloads, while Postgres is for scaling to production, and the acquisition combines both with a consistent developer experience.
Who will lead the agentic infrastructure effort?
Glauber Costa, co-founder of Turso, will lead the agentic infrastructure effort at Supabase, with the rest of the Turso team joining.
