Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
