Reviewer scorecard
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
