Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Guaranteed valid JSON from LLMs — no retry loops needed. The FSM approach is mathematically elegant and reliable.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“If you need structured outputs from open models, Outlines is the correct solution. Not a hack, but a proper constraint system.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“Constrained generation will be built into every inference engine. Outlines pioneered the approach.”
