| "response time" benchmark we see from their competitors in the
| hosted Postgres world, Turso can basically say "0" to.
|
| I'm honestly more surprised they dropped the multi-tenant
| stuff. That seems like a real use case for in the field
| devices. I'm guessing they likely have better ways to handle it
| in their rewrite, and don't want to maintain the current
| version till they release all the new stuff.
|
| Overall though I've found Turso very stable.
