Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
