What problem does it solve?

Drizzle-orm eliminates fragile, runtime-heavy database layers by providing a TypeScript-first, compile-time type-safe way to define schemas, run queries, and manage migrations with minimal bundle size and zero runtime dependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Type-safe Schema & Queries: Define tables and infer TypeScript types so queries and results are validated at compile time.
  • Zero Runtime Overhead: Small bundle size and fast cold-starts make it ideal for serverless and edge runtimes.
  • Migrations & Tooling: Generate, inspect, and apply SQL migrations with drizzle-kit and introspect existing databases.
  • Performance & Advanced Patterns: Supports complex query patterns, transactions, CTEs, materialized views, and database-specific features.
  • Use Case: Ship a Next.js edge API that runs typed queries against PostgreSQL with minimal latency, or migrate performance-critical services from Prisma to Drizzle.

Quick Start

Use drizzle-orm to define your TypeScript schema, connect to your database, run a migration with drizzle-kit, and perform a basic typed select query.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run type-safe SQL queries in a serverless edge function?

You can run type-safe SQL queries in serverless edge functions by defining a TypeScript schema that infers types at compile time. This approach provides zero-runtime-overhead database access with minimal bundle size and fast cold-starts for edge environments.

What is the best way to manage database migrations for a TypeScript backend?

The best way to manage database migrations for a TypeScript backend is using drizzle-kit to generate, inspect, and apply SQL migrations. The tooling supports introspecting existing databases to align schema definitions with current table structures.

Does this type-safe ORM support PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite drivers?

Yes, this type-safe ORM supports compatibility with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite drivers. It enables compile-time type inference and typed queries across these database systems for Node.js, serverless, and edge backends without runtime dependencies.

How do I migrate performance-critical services from Prisma to Drizzle?

Migrate performance-critical services from Prisma to Drizzle by defining TypeScript schemas and running typed queries with zero runtime overhead. This migration eliminates fragile, runtime-heavy database layers in favor of compile-time type safety and minimal bundle size.

Can I execute complex query patterns and transactions with a zero-runtime SQL ORM?

Yes, you can execute complex query patterns and transactions with a zero-runtime SQL ORM. It supports CTEs, materialized views, and database-specific features while maintaining compile-time type validation for advanced serverless and Node.js backend operations.
