Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Typed errors and dependency injection for TypeScript done right. The platform modules (HTTP, Schema, SQL) are production-grade.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Steep learning curve and the functional programming style isn't for everyone. The benefits are real but the adoption cost is high.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“Effect brings Scala/Haskell-level reliability to TypeScript. As TypeScript applications grow in complexity, Effect becomes more valuable.”
