Typed SQL libraries for Typescript provide an interface between code and databases, offering developer-friendly, maintainable solutions, yet choosing the right one can be challenging due to their similar functionalities. The blog post focuses on comparing four popular Typescript-based libraries for Postgres databases: Drizzle, Kysely, Prisma, and Zapatos, which fall into two categories: Object-Relation Mappers (ORMs) and Query Builders. ORMs simplify synchronization between objects and database tables but may struggle with complex queries, while Query Builders allow for more SQL-like query writing with Typescript type safety. The post evaluates these libraries based on learning curve, support for complex queries, SQL migrations, supported runtimes, and community engagement. Drizzle, Kysely, and Zapatos work well with edge runtimes, whereas Prisma does not. Prisma, however, has the largest community presence and support on forums like Stack Overflow, making it a popular choice despite its edge-runtime limitations. Each library offers unique benefits, such as Drizzle's intuitive SQL-like syntax and automated migration tool, Kysely's Typescript-centric syntax and flexibility, and Prisma's human-readable syntax and strong community support, making the choice dependent on project needs and personal preferences.
