Now let's give Turso a whirl
We'll log in, download the necessary files, install the software, verify our CLI is functional, connect to a replication region storing our data, and see how the system performs. Let's begin with the onboarding process, which instructs us to install the command line. We'll type in the appropriate command, and then let brew run its course, it usually takes a bit. While brew does its thing, we can preview the follow-up instructions, which prompts us to create our first database. Once brew finishes installing, we can test Turso and see what we find. Nice, we've got some handy tools and helpful tips here. It looks like we'll need to authenticate. I suspect this process will create a local database, but let's see what unfolds. As expected, we need to log in, good thing it gives us detailed login instructions. Although I'm cautious about opening ports, I presume it will be a local one, enabling my browser to nab an auth token and complete the setup process. Here we go, let's give this a shot. So far so good, we're greeted with a welcome screen telling us our authentication is successful and credentials have been auto-stored. Now let's revisit dbcreate and see what happens. Intriguingly, without any prompt from me, Turso chose a regional data center that's conveniently close to my California location. Now we've got a fully-functional database stored in a nearby data center. With that, it seems we've successfully completed the initial setup process.
