What problem does it solve?

Drizzle-ORM provides a type-safe SQL query layer for TypeScript, delivering compile-time guarantees and zero runtime overhead to build robust data access code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Type-safe schema inference and expressive query builder for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite.
  • Zero-runtime-overhead operation with direct SQL translation for performance-critical apps.
  • Use Case: Build scalable data-heavy services with confident type-safety and minimal bundle size.

Quick Start

Install drizzle-orm, configure the client, and start writing type-safe queries immediately.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write type-safe SQL queries in TypeScript without adding runtime overhead?

Type-safe SQL queries in TypeScript with zero runtime overhead are achieved by using an ORM that translates schema inference directly into SQL, ensuring compile-time type guarantees without bloating the bundle. Drizzle-ORM provides this exact capability for backend services.

Can I use this type-safe ORM with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite?

Yes, this type-safe ORM supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite. It provides a schema inference system and an expressive query builder designed to work across these major SQL databases for scalable data-heavy services.

What is the best way to handle scalable database migrations for edge deployments?

Scalable migrations for edge deployments are handled by configuring a type-safe SQL client that offers direct SQL translation and minimal bundle size. This approach ensures fast SQL access and reliable type guarantees in performance-critical environments.

Does a zero-runtime-overhead ORM still provide type inference for backend services?

Yes, a zero-runtime-overhead ORM provides full type inference for backend services. It delivers compile-time type safety by directly translating queries to SQL, ensuring robust data access code without runtime bloat.

Why should I choose a TypeScript ORM with zero runtime overhead over other tools?

A TypeScript ORM with zero runtime overhead is chosen over other tools to achieve strict compile-time type guarantees and minimal bundle size. This is essential for performance-critical backend services and edge deployments requiring fast SQL access.

How do I start writing type-safe SQL queries immediately after installing the ORM?

To write type-safe SQL queries immediately, install the ORM package, configure the database client, and define your schema. The system automatically infers types, allowing you to build expressive queries with compile-time guarantees.
