About Starbase
Starbase (starbasedb.com) is an open-source, scale-to-zero HTTP SQLite database built on Cloudflare Durable Objects by Outerbase, which has since been acquired by Cloudflare. It provides HTTPS and WebSocket endpoints for low-latency SQL queries, built-in ACID transaction support, a browser-based database interface, and REST API access, with no server management required. It also supports connecting external data sources like Postgres for advanced use cases such as edge query caching. Alternatives: Cloudflare D1 (managed SQLite-compatible database at the edge with similar architecture), Turso (distributed SQLite platform built on libSQL with edge deployment focus), PlanetScale (serverless MySQL platform with branching workflow for schema changes), Neon (serverless Postgres with branching and autoscaling for modern apps).
