Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“The simplest way to get typed, validated outputs from LLMs. Pydantic integration is natural for Python developers.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Does one thing perfectly. No over-abstraction, just structured outputs. The anti-LangChain.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“Structured outputs are the bridge between LLMs and traditional software. Instructor makes that bridge trivial to build.”
