Turso 基于 libSQL（SQLite 分支）构建的边缘数据库在全球39个边缘节点提供嵌入式数据库体验。本文分享将一个电商产品目录系统从 PostgreSQL 迁移到 Turso 的完整过程。
Turso's edge database built on libSQL (a SQLite fork) provides embedded database experience across 39 global edge nodes. This article shares the complete migration of an e-commerce product catalog from PostgreSQL to Turso.
边缘数据库：数据离用户更近Turso 是基于 libSQL（SQLite 的开源分支）构建的边缘优先数据库服务。它在全球39个边缘节点复制数据，使得读查询可以在离用户最近的节点执行，P99 延迟通常在5毫秒以内。架构原理主节点负责所有写操作，通过 Raft 共识协议确保数据一致性39个边缘只读副本异步复制，复制延迟通常在50-200毫秒嵌入式模式：可以将 libSQL 嵌入应用进程，消除网络往返开销HTTP 和 WebSocket 两种访问协议，兼容 SQLite 的 SQL 方言迁移实录我们将一个包含120万 SKU 的电商产品目录系统从 PostgreSQL 迁移到 Turso。首先用 pgloader 导出数据并转换 schema（注意 Turso 不支持数组类型和部分 JSON 函数）。然后使用 Turso 的 SDK 重写数据访问层。整个迁移耗时约三天，涉及42个查询的重写。性能对比迁移后，北美用户的产品详情页加载时间从平均280毫秒降至45毫秒；亚太用户从620毫秒降至52毫秒。数据库成本从每月320美元降至89美元。但写入密集的订单系统不适合 Turso，因为所有写操作必须路由到主节点。Turso 最适合读多写少、需要全球化分布的场景。
Edge Database: Bringing Data Closer to UsersTurso is an edge-first database service built on libSQL (an open-source fork of SQLite). It replicates data across 39 global edge nodes, enabling read queries to execute at the nearest node with P99 latency typically under 5 milliseconds.Architecture OverviewPrimary node handles all writes, ensuring data consistency through Raft consensus protocol39 edge read replicas with asynchronous replication, typically 50-200ms replication lagEmbedded mode: libSQL can be embedded in the application process, eliminating network round-trip overheadHTTP and WebSocket access protocols, compatible with SQLite's SQL dialectMigration JourneyWe migrated an e-commerce product catalog with 1.2 million SKUs from PostgreSQL to Turso. First, we exported data using pgloader and converted the schema (note Turso doesn't support array types and some JSON functions). Then we rewrote the data access layer using Turso's SDK. The entire migration took approximately three days, involving 42 query rewrites.Performance ComparisonPost-migration, North American users' product detail page load times dropped from an average of 280ms to 45ms; Asia-Pacific users from 620ms to 52ms. Database costs decreased from $320/month to $89/month. However, write-intensive order systems are unsuitable for Turso since all writes must route to the primary node. Turso is best suited for read-heavy, globally distributed scenarios.
