Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
