Drizzle ORM

TypeScript ORM that lets you just write SQL

Open SourceFree TierAdded Nov 1, 2022

About

Drizzle is a TypeScript ORM that's as close to raw SQL as possible while still being type-safe. Zero dependencies, serverless-ready, and works with Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite. The schema is defined in TypeScript, queries look like SQL, and you get full type safety and auto-completion. Growing rapidly as the TypeScript ORM of choice for modern stacks.

Origin Story

By Andrew Sherman & Dan Kochetov

The Problem

Prisma was popular but heavy. Raw SQL was fast but not type-safe. Needed an ORM that felt like SQL with TypeScript type safety.

Building It

Launched in 2022. Rapidly adopted as the go-to ORM for Next.js and serverless TypeScript projects. 25K+ GitHub stars.

What It Means

ORMs don't have to abstract away SQL. The best ORM makes SQL type-safe while keeping it readable.

The Dream

To be the TypeScript ORM that SQL-loving developers actually enjoy using.
