## What it is
SeaORM is an async, dynamic relational ORM for Rust supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MariaDB. It provides entity generation, migrations, relations, transactions, and a batteries-included query builder for building web services.

## Use cases
- use an orm in rust with postgres
- generate rust entities from an existing database schema
- manage database migrations in a rust web service
- model one-to-many and many-to-many relations in rust
- build a rest or graphql api backed by sql in rust
- run async crud queries with tokio and sqlx

## When to choose
- you want an async, dynamic ORM in Rust with a familiar ActiveRecord-like developer experience
- you need multi-database support (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite) with migrations and entity generation
- you're building REST, GraphQL, or gRPC services and want batteries-included querying, pagination, and relations

## When to avoid
- you prefer compile-time checked SQL and maximum type safety (consider Diesel)
- you want raw SQL control without an ORM abstraction layer
- your project is not async or does not use tokio/async-std runtimes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: orm, database, database-driver
- domain: databases, backend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: async, sqlx, tokio, postgres, mysql, sqlite, mariadb, migrations, entity-generation, graphql-support
