Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Single binary with auth, database, file storage, and real-time. Deploy your backend with one file. Incredible for small projects.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“The simplicity is its superpower. For prototypes, side projects, and small apps, nothing is faster to deploy.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“Single-binary backends democratize backend development. PocketBase proves you don't need cloud services for small apps.”
