SQLite is the most deployed database in the world, and a crucial player in the small data movement. It powers everything we touch, from small wearables to server-side applications. But as the world changes, is it ready for the challenges that modern infrastructure demands? We believe the answer is "no": from its lack of support for concurrent writes, to its inability to work with complex data like vector embeddings, SQLite needs a fundamental overhaul. In this talk we will explore why a complete rewrite is the most practical path forward to bring SQLite into the modern era. We'll dive deep into how Turso, our full rewrite of SQLite in Rust, tackles these challenges head-on—delivering true concurrency, native vector support, and dramatic performance improvements. Expect concrete benchmarks, implementation details, and a clear roadmap for SQLite's future.
