Which one to pick

  • Start with Turso: it's maintained by Turso and follows its API.
  • A remote server (Turso) needs no install and signs you in with OAuth. It's also the only kind ChatGPT and claude.ai can use.
  • A local server (DBHub) runs on your machine with an API key or token, and works offline from the vendor's hosting.
