Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
