Drizzle is a lightweight TypeScript ORM with SQL-like syntax, zero dependencies, and serverless-ready. Schema defined in TypeScript with type-safe queries.
Reviewer scorecard
“The best open-source alternative to Claude Code. Model-agnostic, configurable, and the git integration is solid. Perfect if you want control over your tools.”
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Free, open-source, and surprisingly capable. The trade-off vs Cursor/Claude Code is polish — it works but requires more setup and CLI comfort.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Aider proves that AI coding doesn't need to be locked into a proprietary IDE. The model-agnostic approach means it gets better as every LLM improves.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
