Turso on AWS is now available in beta for everybody
You can now run Turso on AWS on every plan.

Turso has more than 30 server locations available on Fly.io, but we've consistently heard from some users that the rest of their workloads are on AWS and they would prefer to, for egress or other reasons, keep everything on AWS. For the past couple of months, select Pro and Enterprise customers have had AWS regions available as part of a private beta. With today’s launch, every Turso user can freely create their groups on AWS in the regions available.
Users can create databases on the following regions:
- us-east-1
- us-west-1
- us-west-2
- eu-west-1
Organizations that already have their compute on AWS will benefit from having their database as close as possible to their infrastructure, minimizing latency and bandwidth fees.
For users on the Free, Hobby and Scaler plans, the AWS offering is based on our new massive multi-tenant technology as seen on ThePrimeagen, and it comes with a limited feature set during the public beta. Users on Pro and Enterprise plans can self-service on the fully featured server.
#No cold starts
For a while now users on any of our paid plans have not had cold starts, but we have good news for Free users: You now get no cold starts on AWS, because Turso on AWS is architected to work without any cold starts by default. Each of your databases is just a SQLite file, meaning we can serve each request efficiently as they come, and have a baseline cost of zero when the database is not in use.
#Vector Search for AI is always available
Vector search is available in every plan, meaning you can mix & match relational and vector search together in the same database, while taking advantage of Turso’s fast & affordable databases, be them ephemeral or long lived.
#Multi-tenant by design
Users in all plans can take advantage of Turso multi-tenant databases. As a reminder, users on the Pro plan now have unlimited databases, and even on the Free Plan, you can still create 500 databases!
#With your own Backups
Pro and Enterprise users also have access to a new feature that increases the data sovereignty on your Turso applications: you can provide your own S3 buckets that will be used to host the data of your backups. That data is never stored on our own buckets.
#Coming soon!
The following Turso on AWS features are coming soon and won’t be available during the public beta:
For free, Hobby and Scaler plans:
- Point-in-time restore,
- embedded replicas,
- uploading SQLite files,
- API level database lock,
- schema databases,
- attach,
- extensions,
- bring your own S3 buckets.
Those features are available on the Pro plan only for now.
For all plans: Multi-region Geographical replication is not available at the moment.
Users on our Pro and Enterprise plans are encouraged to instead use embedded replicas (Pro and Enterprise), and communicate to us their needs for replication on AWS.
We’re excited to finally be bringing Turso to the internet’s most reliable workhorse, AWS, and we appreciate your patience while we “bring it up to speed.”
Please try it out for yourself and don’t hesitate to let us know what you think on the #aws-beta channel on our Discord.
