Drizzle ORM: TypeScript ORM for SQL databases
Lightweight type-safe SQL query builder for TypeScript.
Learn more about drizzle-orm
Drizzle ORM is a TypeScript-first object-relational mapping library designed for server-side JavaScript environments. It operates as a thin typed layer above SQL, allowing developers to define database schemas and construct queries using either relational or SQL-like syntax while maintaining type safety. The library ships at approximately 7.4kb minified and gzipped with no external dependencies, and supports multiple database engines including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, and various serverless database platforms. It runs across different JavaScript runtimes including Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, and edge computing environments.
Zero dependencies
The library includes no external dependencies and maintains a small bundle size of roughly 7.4kb minified and gzipped. Code is tree-shakeable, allowing unused portions to be removed during bundling.
Multi-runtime support
Drizzle runs in Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase functions, and browser environments without requiring serverless adapters or proxy layers. It works directly with both traditional and serverless database platforms.
Type-safe schema definition
Schemas are declared in TypeScript with full type inference for queries. The ORM supports both relational query builders and SQL-like query syntax while maintaining end-to-end type safety.
import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/node-postgres';
import { users } from './schema';
import { eq } from 'drizzle-orm';
const db = drizzle(pool);
// Query users by email
const result = await db
.select()
.from(users)
.where(eq(users.email, 'john@example.com'));Fixes ESM module import failure for drizzle-kit/api; no breaking changes or new requirements noted.
