# Serverless SQLite in Europe in 2026

Last updated: 2026-11-10

**Eurobase** runs SQLite databases next to your app on European infrastructure, using the same D1 configuration as Cloudflare Workers. **Cloudflare D1** can be restricted to the EU, and **Turso** has a region in Ireland, but both run on global platforms. If you want full control, **SQLite on your own European server** costs a few euros a month.

## The options at a glance

| Option | Runs on | Starts at | Reachable from | Main gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eurobase | European infrastructure | Free, then €10 a month + VAT | Apps on Eurobase Workers | Only from Eurobase Workers |
| Cloudflare D1 | Cloudflare, with an EU jurisdiction | Free, then Workers Paid at $5 a month | Cloudflare Workers | Workers may access it from anywhere |
| Turso | AWS, including Ireland | Free, then $4.99 a month billed yearly | Any app, over the network | AWS Ireland is the only European location listed |
| SQLite on your own server | A server from Hetzner or another host | From €5.49 a month excl. VAT, if available to order | Apps on that server | Backups and uptime are yours |

Prices are from each provider's own page, checked on 9 and 10 November 2026.

## When SQLite is the right choice

SQLite fits apps with mostly reads, a modest write rate and data that divides naturally by customer or project. For a deeper comparison, read [SQLite vs Postgres](/blog/sqlite-vs-postgres). If you need many concurrent writers from several servers, choose Postgres.

## 1. Eurobase

Each `d1_databases` entry in your Wrangler config is a SQLite database in your project. Every deployment uses the same data and schema. The SQL files in your migrations folder run in order when a deployment activates, and if one fails, the previous deployment keeps serving.

- **Best for:** Workers and frameworks that already use D1.
- **Price:** included in Free, Starter at €10 and Pro at €20 a month + VAT.
- **What it lacks:** access from outside Eurobase Workers, and managed Postgres or MySQL.

## 2. Cloudflare D1 with an EU jurisdiction

Set the EU jurisdiction when you create the database. It can't be added afterwards.

- **Best for:** teams staying on Cloudflare who want the data stored in the EU.
- **Price:** free with daily limits. Workers Paid includes 25 billion rows read and 50 million rows written a month.
- **What it lacks:** full control of access. Cloudflare's docs say Workers may still reach the database from anywhere in the world.

## 3. Turso

Turso offers managed SQLite databases, reachable over the network from any platform. Its AWS location in Europe is Ireland.

- **Best for:** using SQLite from outside Cloudflare, or many small databases.
- **Price:** Free includes 100 databases and 5 GB. Developer is $4.99 a month billed yearly.
- **What it lacks:** a choice of European locations.

## 4. SQLite on your own server

Run your app and its SQLite file on one server from a European host. Hetzner lists cloud servers from €5.49 a month excl. VAT, a CPX02 in Helsinki, or €6.49 in Falkenstein or Nuremberg. Its cheapest plans showed as unavailable to order on 10 November 2026.

- **Best for:** one app on one server, with someone able to look after it.
- **What it lacks:** managed backups and failover, unless you set them up yourself.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is there a European alternative to Cloudflare D1?

Yes. Eurobase runs D1 databases on European infrastructure, with the same Wrangler configuration and migrations.

### Can I use SQLite in production?

Yes, for many apps. The limit is usually write concurrency, so check your write rate first.

### Does Turso have a European region?

Its location list includes AWS EU West, in Ireland.
