Limbo and Turso's other tools seem interesting, but the listed limitation of “no multi process database access” is pretty huge.
If you don’t need that, then great—Turso/Limbo might be for you! But there are a ton of use cases out there that rely on SQLite for simultaneous multiprocess access. And I’m not even talking about things that use it from forking servers or for coordination (though those are surprisingly common as well)—instead, lots of processes that use SQLite 99.9% of the time from one process still need it to be multiprocess-authoritative for e.g. data exports, “can I open two copies of an app far enough to get a ‘one is already running’ error?”-type use cases, extensions/plugins, maintenance scripts, etc. not having to worry about cross-process lock files thanks to SQLite is a significant benefit for those.
