## AI overview

Eden uses Turso's encrypted embedded storage to keep sensitive control-plane state while deploying its infrastructure gateway close to the databases, APIs, AI endpoints, and internal tools it governs. This embedded approach reduces latency, network hops, external dependencies, and operational overhead, while supporting private, on-premises, air-gapped, and low-latency environments without requiring a separate Postgres deployment.
