Existing users see no immediate changes: Supabase continues with Postgres and Turso continues its own development, with founders Glauber Costa and Pekka Enberg joining Supabase. The event also brought a batch of building features (Docker-free local dev, Declarative Schemas 2.0, Supabase Compute, app-level MCP servers), operating features for safer agent-database interaction (health/security/performance MCP prompts, Health Check Advisors, MCP elicitations for destructive actions, new pipeline destinations like BigQuery and Snowflake), and three scaling-focused releases: Multigres (a Postgres operating system from the Vitess team in private alpha), OrioleDB (an undo-log storage engine in public beta claiming up to 1.8x throughput over heap), and dbarena, an open benchmarking site comparing managed Postgres providers. ## Content Supabase used its Select 2026 event to announce a long list of features, plus one big piece of news: it is acquiring Turso. ## The Turso acquisition Supabase is buying Turso to build database infrastructure for agentic AI, where agents spin up millions of databases on demand. Nothing changes for existing users right away. Supabase keeps going with Postgres, and Turso keeps developing its Rust-based SQLite platform, which can manage millions of on-demand databases on a single server. Turso founders Glauber Costa and Pekka Enberg are joining Supabase, and Costa will lead the agentic infrastructure effort. The logic is easy to follow. If AI agents are going to generate huge numbers of prototype apps, each one needs its own small database that is cheap to keep around and easy to suspend. Turso's engine is a SQLite-compatible rewrite in Rust with asynchronous execution and multi-version concurrency control (MVCC), which suits that job. Supabase isn't alone in betting on this. Deno Sandbox offers ephemeral Linux VMs, and Cloudflare has added Worker Previews and updated Containers, with startup times dropping from about 4 seconds to 648ms. Every vendor seems to be preparing for a lot more code, much of it disposable. ## Build anything - Local development without Docker. - Declarative Schemas 2.0: you define your schema in SQL as code, and pg-delta generates the migrations. - Supabase Compute, for running long-lived services next to your database. - A way for your app to expose its own MCP server to end users. ## Operate with confidence Much of this is about letting agents work on your database without losing control of it. - Agents can run health, security and performance checks through MCP prompts. - New Health Check Advisors, a Database Connections viewer and a query_logs MCP tool. - Explorer and Notebooks, a SQL workspace. - Enterprise-managed MCP authentication through SSO, and scoped personal access tokens. - MCP elicitations, which ask for confirmation before a destructive action. - New Pipelines destinations: BigQuery, ClickHouse, DuckLake and Snowflake. ## Scale without limits Three releases target Postgres scaling limits. **Multigres** is an open source operating system for Postgres from the team behind Vitess. It adds scalable connection pooling and automated multi-node failover, using a consensus protocol on top of synchronous replication. It is in private alpha. **OrioleDB** is an open source storage engine that uses an undo log instead of heap storage. That removes table bloat, VACUUM overhead and transaction ID wraparound, and it uses 64-bit XIDs by default. In benchmarks it reached up to 1.8x the throughput of heap. It is in public beta. **dbarena** is an open benchmarking site that compares managed Postgres providers (Supabase, Amazon RDS and Google Cloud SQL) on cost and performance, with a reproducible methodology. It is publicly available. I'm most curious about Turso. The feature list is solid, but buying a SQLite-compatible engine tells you where Supabase thinks the volume is headed. ## Questions this post answers ### Why is Supabase acquiring Turso? Supabase is acquiring Turso to build database infrastructure for agentic AI, where agents spin up millions of databases on demand. Turso develops a Rust-based SQLite platform capable of managing millions of on-demand databases on a single server. Existing users see no immediate change: Supabase continues with Postgres, Turso continues its SQLite platform, and Turso founders Glauber Costa and Pekka Enberg are joining Supabase, with Costa leading the agentic infrastructure effort. _Following database vendor consolidation like this helps teams anticipate shifts in their Postgres or SQLite stack on daily.dev._ ### What is OrioleDB and how much faster is it than standard Postgres heap storage? OrioleDB is an open source Postgres storage engine that replaces heap storage with an undo log, eliminating table bloat, VACUUM overhead, and transaction ID wraparound by using 64-bit XIDs by default. In benchmarks it reached up to 1.8x the throughput of standard heap storage. It is currently in public beta. _Developers weighing Postgres storage engine upgrades can track OrioleDB's progress on daily.dev._ ### What is Multigres and who is building it? Multigres is an open source operating system for Postgres built by the Vitess team, adding scalable connection pooling and automated multi-node failover using a consensus protocol over synchronous replication. It is currently in private alpha, aimed at addressing Postgres scaling limits around connection handling and failover. _Engineers planning for Postgres at scale can follow Multigres updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Village News: MySQL News \+ Events \(6 October 2026\)](https://daily.dev/posts/village-news-mysql-news-events-6-october-2026--8swolmenu) · Planet MySQL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#database](https://daily.dev/tags/database), [#postgresql](https://daily.dev/tags/postgresql), [#sqlite](https://daily.dev/tags/sqlite), [#supabase](https://daily.dev/tags/supabase) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-select-2026-turso-acquisition-compute-multigres-and-orioledb-kvn8bdkx4) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Supabase Select 2026: Turso acquisition, Compute, Multigres and OrioleDB","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-select-2026-turso-acquisition-compute-multigres-and-orioledb-kvn8bdkx4","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-select-2026-turso-acquisition-compute-multigres-and-orioledb-kvn8bdkx4"},"datePublished":"2026-10-09T14:59:24.678Z","dateModified":"2026-10-29T02:14:11.624Z","description":"Supabase used its Select 2026 event to announce it is acquiring Turso, the Rust-based SQLite platform built to manage millions of on-demand databases, aimed at...","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-select-2026-turso-acquisition-compute-multigres-and-orioledb-kvn8bdkx4","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"database,postgresql,sqlite,supabase","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Supabase Select 2026: Turso acquisition, Compute, Multigres and OrioleDB"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/supabase-select-2026-turso-acquisition-compute-multigres-and-orioledb-kvn8bdkx4#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why is Supabase acquiring Turso?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Supabase is acquiring Turso to build database infrastructure for agentic AI, where agents spin up millions of databases on demand.
