## AI overview

The article compares remote SQL-over-HTTP database access with locally embedded SQLite reads in serverless functions. It presents Turso's partial sync as a way to replicate a subset of data locally for fast reads while sending writes to the cloud for durability and consistency, using Vercel Functions as an example deployment context.

## Source excerpt

We examine two approaches to database access from serverless functions -- remote execution over HTTP and local embedded reads with sync -- and show how the latter eliminates per-query network latency.
