Supabase acquires Turso to scale agentic database infrastructure
Supabase has acquired Turso to expand its database scaling capabilities, aiming to support a shift from millions to billions of monthly database launches. The move includes a new partnership with Capital G to access Alphabet’s cloud infrastructure.
Supabase announced the acquisition of Turso to address the scaling requirements of its platform, which currently launches five million databases per month with a goal of reaching billions. Turso’s architecture builds Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) for SQLite, enabling multiple writers on a file format that runs on object storage with 11 nines of data durability. Supabase will retain the Turso brand for SQLite and introduce a new instance type called Supabase Spark, which is compatible with existing libraries. This allows users to start with lightweight databases and upgrade to full Postgres or Multigress as needed.
The acquisition is accompanied by a new investment partnership with Capital G, providing access to the Alphabet ecosystem and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) compute. This partnership addresses capacity constraints Supabase has faced on AWS and supports a multi-cloud strategy. The company stated that the move deepens integration with AI labs, including Gemini, to power agentic databases.
