Glauber Costa joined me on nickyt.live this week to talk about Turso, a new edge database. We discussed the project, provisioned a database, created replicas worldwide and wrapped it up with a demo Node.js CLI app that loads data from the database.
Here’s a highlight from the Twitch stream. The recording will be up on YouTube early next week.
Remember to give a follow on Twitch and subscribe on YouTube so you can catch all the great guests!
Coming up this week, it’s a doubleheader. Austin Gil and Nick Nisi join me on my Twitch stream. Check out the schedule for their slots and other upcoming guests.
