I am excited to announce that we are officially writing a new version of Postgres. In Rust - and creating the LLVM of databases in the process. In the span of a year, we have rewritten SQLite. Keeping the compatibility, increasing its feature set. MVCC, Types, (Live) Materialized Views, among other things. In the process of doing that, we have realized: At the end of the day, what makes SQLite special is that it compiles SQL to a database-specific bytecode. So why can't we compile *Postgres* to the same bytecode? Turns out we can. I ran an experiment called pgmicro as a way to prove this hypothesis, and it works very well. It is time to make this official, and put the weight of Turso behind it. We shall give the world a modern take on Postgres. Wire compatible, but built on a new architecture. We have already heard of others wanting to extend this. MySQL? Redis? the sky is the limit. What can we do if we do for databases what LLVM did for compilers? To prove how powerful the SQLite bytecode is, we are actually running DOOM compiled to the unmodified SQLite instruction set. And because Turso runs natively in the browser, you can play the game in your browser. With the database executing it. Read the full story below! 👇

If you're even thinking of 💩 on folks now for what's going on, remember: "There, but for the grace of God, go I" It could be you, it could be me. Being someone else is more luck than genius on your side. Grace. The guy with the PK 4 is an exception, though. We can shit on that one

Bryan needs to make Kate organism. My guess is a typo because he is typing with one hand only.

Replying to @sequoia
@sequoia is leading our Series C at a $1B valuation. Since January, we’ve gone from running 5M CI jobs a week to over 90M. Agents are writing an order of magnitude more code, and all of it still needs to be built and tested before it ships.

45 is a much better private key than 4. It is 2 digits. 44 is not as good because it is 2 digits, but the same digit.

I have an AI agent that logs every negative comment someone makes about me online. It then creates a profile of the person, maps all of their social connections, and finds all their emails. Tomorrow morning, my AI agent will sent out an email blast to everyone's extended social network, detailing the horrible things they've said about me.

We just raised a $60M Series B at a $1B valuation to build @daytonaio into the Agent Cloud. @FirstMarkCap led the round, with all key existing investors and angels doubling down. We're also thrilled to welcome the founders of some generational companies aboard, including @patrickc (Stripe), @tobi (Shopify), @AravSrinivas (Perplexity), @BrendanFoody (Mercor), @oliveur (Datadog), @adamdangelo (Quora) and @ericsyuan (Zoom) We're a 35-person team. But that's about to change; we're hiring across the board, and we'd love for you to join us.

The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once said: "The process may panic, the server may burn. Yet I am untroubled, for it is not events that disturb us, but our judgments about them. And my judgment is that the commit was fsynced to the logical log. Let the crash come; on recovery, I shall replay it as though nothing happened. Such is the way of nature, and of write-ahead logging." With these words of wisdom, I leave you with his direct descendent Peristocles, who enlighten us about the stoic nature of MVCC in Turso.

I wrote a new blog post about MVCC in @tursodatabase . The post does not focus on one thing in the system but instead follows the life of a row. From birth up to ultimately its death turso.tech/blog/mvcc-row-lif….

Birth and death of a row in Turso's MVCC

Follow one row through Turso's MVCC: the INSERT bytecode, the in-memory version store, commit and fsync, log replay, checkpoints, and the final DELETE.
