Drizzle ORM

Drizzle ORM is a TypeScript ORM that delivers the developer experience of Prisma with the performance and flexibility of raw SQL. Its philosophy is "if you know SQL, you know Drizzle" because the query API maps directly to SQL concepts, making it predictable and powerful. Unlike Prisma which uses its own query engine, Drizzle generates SQL queries at build time with zero runtime overhead. You define your schema in TypeScript files using a declarative API, and Drizzle gives you fully typed queries, inserts, updates, and deletes with autocomplete for column names, operators, and joins. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and their serverless variants (Neon, PlanetScale, Turso, D1). Drizzle Kit provides migrations management with automatic SQL migration generation from schema changes, push for rapid prototyping, and introspect to generate schemas from existing databases. The relational query API supports nested relations, partial selects, and pagination patterns. Drizzle Studio is a visual database browser for exploring and editing your data. At under 30KB with no dependencies, Drizzle is perfect for edge computing and serverless environments where bundle size matters. For TypeScript developers who want type safety without the abstraction tax, Drizzle is the ORM of choice.
