Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“20x faster than Babel with full compatibility. Used by Next.js which validates production readiness.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“Babel is effectively replaced. SWC's speed improvement is dramatic and the compatibility is excellent.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“SWC is the invisible engine powering modern JS tooling. Rust compilation speed enables new tool architectures.”
