Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Build admin panels in hours instead of weeks. SQL queries, API connections, and components just work together.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“For internal tools that don't need to be beautiful, Retool eliminates weeks of dev time. Genuinely useful.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“AI-generated internal tools will commoditize this space, but Retool's head start and enterprise adoption provide a moat.”
