35## Architecture
36
37This @std.turso function is the client or SDK to @std.tursoAPI, which acts as a "proxy" to Turso. It handles authentication, creates databases, and forwards on your SQL queries. You can get lower latency (~200ms vs ~800ms), more storage, databases, CLI & API access by having your own Turso account.
