On October 2, 2026, Supabase announced $150 million in new funding led by GIC, with participation from Alphabet’s CapitalG, IronArc and SquarePeg, together with an agreement to acquire Turso, the company behind a Rust rewrite of SQLite built for cloud use. The price of the acquisition was not disclosed. Turso founder Glauber Costa becomes Supabase’s Head of Agentic Services, joined by co-founder Pekka Enberg and the Turso team.
Supabase’s stated reason is the way AI agents now use its platform. The company says it is adding more than one million users and four million databases a month, that 70 percent of new databases are created by agents or AI tools, and that 13 million developers use Supabase. Turso’s architecture, it says, can provision on-demand databases for individual agents at lower cost, in public cloud and in bring-your-own-cloud deployments. CEO Paul Copplestone: “The future is agents and the architecture Turso provides will help us accelerate.”
The deal comes four months after Supabase’s $500 million Series F in June 2026. Supabase is built on Postgres; Turso on SQLite. The pairing suggests a split where small, short-lived agent workloads get a lightweight database and graduate to Postgres as they grow.
Why it matters: it is a concrete sign that agents, not human developers, have become the main creators of new backend infrastructure on at least one major platform, and that database vendors are reshaping products around that. What it does not show: the 70 percent figure is Supabase’s own count with no definition of how an agent-created database is identified, no valuation is given for the new money, and the announcement does not say when the acquisition closes or how the two products will merge.
