Drizzle ORM

Type-safe SQL builder and ORM for TypeScript. Zero runtime overhead, honest schema migrations, bring-your-own-DB.

Save

Drizzle is the ORM choice for TypeScript teams who got burned by Prisma's generated client, memory footprint, or migration friction. The SQL builder gives you typed queries that read like SQL, the schema is defined in plain TypeScript, and migrations are generated via drizzle-kit without the Prisma-style hidden engine binary. It has first-class support for Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, and edge runtimes including Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge. Pair it with Neon or Supabase Postgres and you get a serverless, type-safe database layer with none of the runtime surprises. For anyone starting a new TypeScript backend in 2026, Drizzle is the default choice.
