Reviewer scorecard
“SQL-like API means no magic ORM behavior. The schema is TypeScript, the queries are type-safe, and it's fast.”
“Define schema once, get types and validation. The TypeScript inference is seamless. Essential for any TypeScript project.”
“Lighter than Prisma with more SQL control. For developers who think in SQL, Drizzle is the obvious choice.”
“The defacto standard for TypeScript validation. Integration with tRPC, React Hook Form, and every major library.”
“The ORM that feels like SQL is the right abstraction level. Drizzle is gaining on Prisma fast.”
“Zod standardized TypeScript validation. The ecosystem built around it (tRPC, AI SDK) proves its importance.”
