Why Drizzle is Great

Drizzle ORM has been gaining serious traction in the TypeScript ecosystem, and for good reason.

SQL-First Approach

Unlike other ORMs that abstract SQL away, Drizzle embraces it. Your queries look like SQL, which means no magic and no surprises.

Type Safety

Full TypeScript inference from your schema. No codegen step needed — just define your tables and get types automatically.

Lightweight

At ~35KB, Drizzle is a fraction of the size of alternatives like Prisma. This matters for serverless and edge deployments.

Migrations Done Right

Migrations are plain SQL files. You can read them, edit them, and understand exactly what will happen to your database.

The Bottom Line

If you want an ORM that stays out of your way while giving you excellent DX, Drizzle is worth a serious look.
