#Turso works well with the @QwikDev web framework. We love how it's easy to express your frontend and backend code together for readability.

In this post, @xinnks shows how to query Turso from backend code as part of building a newsletter manager:

The only Edge that Glauber missed here is @EdgeRatedR.

[Turso @tursodatabase]

"Edge" may sound like a buzzword to you. What is the edge anyway? And could it be that there is more than one?

In this post, @glcst unpacks the hype around the edge, and why you should care.

[Turso @tursodatabase]

ChiselStrike #Turso, our edge-hosted distributed database based on @libsqlhq, kicked off a private beta this week. You can sign up at https://t.co/Xh2AvhZhuH.

[Doug Stevenson 🔥 @CodingDoug]

Really great to get our edge-hosted distributed database in the hands of developers! Please sign up for the beta and let me know what you think.

[Turso @tursodatabase]

Today we are proud to announce the private beta of ChiselStrike Turso. Based on our efforts on @libsqlhq, Turso brings the power of #SQLite to the edge.

SQLite is regarded as an embedded database, but this is what happens when you embed it into a process that talks HTTP and Postgres.

[libSQL @libsqlhq]

SQLite isn’t network-accessible - until now. With our fork, you can query using the Postgres wire protocol (using psql) or over HTTP. Read more about libSQL “server mode” in this post by @glscst.

[Doug Stevenson 🔥 @CodingDoug]

25 years ago I worked on a product where we implemented MSSQL triggers in C++, which was effectively using the database as a message queue. 🤢

Fast forward to 2023, and now we're putting code in triggers again, but for the right reason: low latency compute adjacent to data.

[libSQL @libsqlhq]

With libSQL, you can use database triggers with functions implemented in #Wasm to put more code closer to your data. In this post, @sarna_dev shows how this can help automate parts of a secure user registration flow for your app.

There's some really clever code gen going on here to build a bespoke #TypeScript client library for your @ChiselStrike backend.

[Turso @tursodatabase]

Recently we released a #TypeScript client API generated for your backend, carrying all of the route and entity type information needed for typesafety.

Read about how we did it from one of our engineers @BearLemma in this post:
https://t.co/8Pxsc7zW0m

[Turso @tursodatabase]

Implementing a backend with ChiselStrike involves routes that map HTTP verbs and URL patterns to functions.

What makes our routes special is that entity CRUDs are automatically atomic during execution.

[Doug Stevenson 🔥 @CodingDoug]

This new #TypeScript SDK generator is a huge step up for the usability of ChiselStrike in web applications, especially SPAs. And it's built to work well with @tan_stack Query for your #ReactJS apps.

It was a lot of fun to work with the team on this one!

[Turso @tursodatabase]

New in the 0.15 release is the ChiselStrike #TypeScript client API. You can now generate a typesafe SDK based on your data model to greatly ease its CRUD operations on the underlying REST API.

[Turso @tursodatabase]

REST and CRUD work together, but they are not the same.

Let’s explore the difference!

[Turso @tursodatabase]

App data modeling with ChiselStrike is as easy as writing a #TypeScript class entity. There are no tables and no JSON. Expressing relationships between entities is natural and typesafe, and CRUD APIs come for free.

Thursday December 8, GDG Cleveland will meet at Tech Elevator. @CodingDoug is giving a talk on Jamstack, and a brief history the history of the web that brought it here as the primary new architectural stack for new web projects.

@GoogleDevsNA

[Doug Stevenson 🔥 @CodingDoug]

One of the defining features of ChiselStrike is its ability to do data modeling entirely through #TypeScript class definitions, giving you a typesafe data persistence layer easily accessible from your backend code.

(And we're extending this to your web frontend code as well!)

[Turso @tursodatabase]

ChiselNow is the fastest way to build a fully functional backend with just a few clicks.

Our first major milestone of libSQL with #WASM user defined functions was released today as v0.1.0. @sarna_dev gives a summary of this feature in this article, along with a tool to compile #Rust code:

Watch this brief intro to ChiselStrike with @CodingDoug to learn how to get started building a backend for your app with with only a few lines of code.

https://t.co/KHNehmzsOe

[Doug Stevenson 🔥 @CodingDoug]

@hamen There is no cost to get started with ChiselNow (the project is deleted in two days unless you import it as a full ChiselStrike project). An actually, the entire ChiselStrike service is currently free in beta. We're working out what the eventual pricing structure will be.

[Doug Stevenson 🔥 @CodingDoug]

Lines of code required to build a backend persistence layer for your app: zero

[Turso @tursodatabase]

Go from zero to REST in minutes with #ChiselNow.

Does it get any easier? We think not. Let us know what you build!

[Turso @tursodatabase]

ChiselStrike now offers experimental support for data policies. But wait! Isn’t middleware enough to guarantee data is safe and compliant? In this post we’ll explore what data policies can do that middleware can’t.
