Drizzle ORM Is SQL in a JavaScript Hat — and Wears It Well

Drizzle ORM converts types from SQL to TypeScript, and can help JS devs work with relational databases in TypeScript environments.

Drizzle ORM is described by its makers as “a headless TypeScript ORM with a head.” But what is an ORM?

In the case of Drizzle ORM, this means converting types from SQL to TypeScript.

In this article, I’ll be discussing Drizzle ORM’s approach to SQL, and why I think it’s an excellent solution for developers working with relational databases in TypeScript environments.
