## AI overview

The article argues that database costs will eventually fall close to zero, enabling plentiful individual and ephemeral databases. It connects this shift to a microdatabase model, AI agents requiring disposable databases for agentic memory, and Turso's efforts toward massive multitenancy and lower-cost provisioning.

## Source excerpt

In the near future, databases will be free and plentiful. What does that change for you?
