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 approval flow is brilliant — you see every action before it executes. More transparent than Cursor's agent mode. Great for complex multi-file refactors.”
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Uses more API tokens than alternatives because of the autonomous approach. Budget accordingly. But the quality of multi-step reasoning is impressive.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Cline represents the VS Code extension approach to AI coding — extend your existing IDE rather than replacing it. That strategy has legs for developers who don't want to switch editors.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
