Drizzle ORM is a lightweight, headless TypeScript ORM for JavaScript runtimes. It provides type‑safe schema definitions, relational queries, and a CLI for migrations.

Use cases

• write type‑safe SQL queries in a Node.js or Bun project
• manage database migrations with a zero‑dependency CLI
• access PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite from serverless functions
• build full‑stack applications with type‑checked database interactions
• use a single ORM across Node, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, and browsers

When to choose

• You need a minimal, tree‑shakable ORM with strong TypeScript support
• Your project runs in serverless or edge environments
• You prefer writing raw‑SQL‑like queries with compile‑time type safety
• You want a single library that works across Node, Bun, Deno, and browsers

When to avoid

• You require an ORM with built‑in UI tools or heavy abstraction layers
• You need extensive plugin ecosystems like those of Prisma or TypeORM
• Your stack relies on languages other than JavaScript/TypeScript
