In this video, I discuss my experiences with ORMs and introduce you to a Typescript ORM that has impressed me: Drizzle. As a developer with over 20 years of experience, I've typically found ORMs frustrating because they require learning new languages that abstract away from SQL, a language I know well. However, Drizzle stands out by embracing SQL, making it less frustrating and more intuitive for SQL enthusiasts like myself.
I walk you through setting up a project with Drizzle, highlighting its key features and how it simplifies database interactions without hiding SQL. You'll see how Drizzle's syntax closely mirrors SQL, making it easier to perform operations like inserts, updates, deletes, and queries. I also demonstrate Drizzle's efficient handling of migrations and its companion CLI tool, Drizzle Kit.
By the end of the video, you'll see how Drizzle allows for efficient, type-safe database interactions in Typescript, making it a solid option for your next project. Plus, there's a personal message from me about my job search, so if you know of any opportunities, I'd love to hear from you.
