Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Eliminates 90% of server state management boilerplate. Caching, refetching, and mutations just work.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Solved server state management so well that it changed how React apps are built. The devtools are excellent.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“TanStack Query's multi-framework support and the broader TanStack ecosystem are defining modern web data management.”
