Drizzle ORM is a lightweight, headless object-relational mapper for TypeScript and JavaScript applications.
It provides a thin, strongly typed layer over SQL rather than concealing database operations behind a proprietary query language.
The software supports PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite databases, including serverless services. It runs with Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, edge environments and web browsers.
This is free and open source software.
