## What it is
Orator is a Python ORM providing an ActiveRecord implementation inspired by Laravel's Eloquent, with a fluent query builder and schema migrations. It supports Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite through standard DBAPI drivers.

## Use cases
- use an ActiveRecord-style ORM in Python
- map Python classes to database tables
- run fluent SQL queries without raw SQL
- manage database schema migrations
- build a Laravel-like backend in Python

## When to choose
- you prefer Laravel/Eloquent-style ActiveRecord patterns in Python
- you want a simple, expressive ORM for Postgres, MySQL, or SQLite
- you need schema migrations alongside your ORM

## When to avoid
- you need async database access
- you want an actively maintained project with recent releases
- you need advanced features like multi-database NoSQL support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: orm, database
- domain: databases, web-development, backend
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: active-record, laravel-inspired, query-builder, migrations, sql
