+
+<Authors />
+
+Hey Flutter devs! At Celest, our mission is to empower you to build incredible backends using the language you already know and love: Dart 🎯
+
+With Celest V1, we're introducing a brand new member of the Celest family to solve one of the biggest challenges in backend development: data management.
+Celest Data, our new serverless database offering, lets you define your data models with Dart and then magically persist them everywhere - from your 
+local environment to the cloud.
+
+At the heart of this magic lies a powerful combination: SQLite for local development, and Turso for everywhere else.
+
+### The Beauty of Local Development with SQLite
+
+When you're building a Flutter app, speed and iteration are key. That's why you chose Flutter, and that's why we chose SQLite as the foundation for Celest Data.
+It's blazing fast, embeds directly within your project, and requires zero setup. Just point Celest at your data models, and the rest is taken care of.
+
+This means:
+
+* **Instantaneous feedback:** No more database passwords or DSN strings. No need to check if Docker is running. Your data is right there, right now.
+* **Lightweight and portable:** SQLite's small footprint and embedded nature means spinning up an ephemeral environment or running checks in CI is a breeze.
+* **Simplified debugging:** Inspect your database directly with familiar SQLite tools. Your data is always at your fingertips.
+
+### Scaling to the Cloud with Turso
+
+But what happens when you're ready to deploy? This is where Turso comes in. Celest seamlessly transitions your local SQLite database to a distributed Turso database in the cloud. 
+
+You get all the benefits of SQLite, plus:
+
+* **Automatic synchronization:**  Turso handles all the complexities of data synchronization and conflict resolution across multiple regions.
+* **Horizontal scalability:** Turso's distributed architecture scales effortlessly to handle even the most demanding workloads.
+* **Global availability:** Deploy your backend closer to your users, reducing latency and improving performance.
+
+### The Power of Locality: Auth, Users, and Data Together
+
+One of the most exciting aspects of this architecture is the ability to co-locate your authorization logic, user data, and application data within a single Turso database. 
+
+This offers significant advantages, including:
+
+* **Reduced latency:** No more round trips to separate auth servers or user databases. Everything runs right next to your application code.
+* **Simplified data relationships:** Easily manage relationships between users, permissions, and data within a single, consistent schema.
+* **Enhanced security:**  Keep sensitive data closer to your application logic, reducing the attack surface.
+
+Imagine this: you're building a real-time chat app. With Celest and Turso, you can store user profiles, chat messages, and access control rules all within the same database, 
+geographically distributed to minimize latency for users around the world. 
+
+All of this happens automatically; you simply define your schema in Dart, and Celest Data takes care of the rest.
+
+### The Future of Flutter Backends
+
+We believe this combination of SQLite for local development and Turso for cloud deployments represents a paradigm shift in how Flutter backends are built. 
+It's faster, more efficient, and more developer-friendly than traditional approaches.  We're constantly working on new features and improvements, so stay tuned for what's next!
