## AI overview

The article explains why low latency is increasingly important in modern applications, especially e-commerce, where delays beyond single-digit milliseconds may affect business results. It also describes an older version of Turso and its SQLite-based cloud databases, device and server synchronization, and offline support.

## Source excerpt

Latency is becoming essential across various use cases in modern applications. For example, in e-commerce, going beyond single-digit millisecond latencies is believed to hurt the bottom line.
