NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Drizzle is a lightweight TypeScript ORM. Unlike Prisma ORM, it gives developers both a simple SQL-like API and a more traditional ORM-style query interface. It also supports extracting schemas from existing databases, enabling both database-first and code-first approaches. Drizzle was designed with serverless environments in mind: It has a small bundle size and supports prepared statements, allowing SQL queries to be precompiled so that the database driver executes binary SQL directly instead of parsing queries each time. Its simplicity and serverless support make Drizzle an appealing choice for ORM use in the TypeScript ecosystem.
