Why We Ditched Drizzle & Knex in favor of Kysely's Querybuilder
- ORMs like Knex and Drizzle, while promising rapid development, can obscure SQL and create bottlenecks with growing complexity.
- Kysely offers a balance of control, maintainability, and end-to-end type safety for database interactions.
- ORMs hide real database interactions, making query optimization and troubleshooting difficult in complex apps.
- Strict patterns in ORMs can limit customization and lead to convoluted code when deviating from standard use cases.
- For complex queries, ORM syntax becomes cumbersome and error-prone, especially in production-grade systems.
- Type safety in query builders is crucial for preventing errors at compile time, like incorrect table references or typos.
- Kysely aims for strict type safety, unlike Drizzle and Knex, ensuring correct query construction and avoiding runtime failures.
- Kysely's fully type-safe implementation enhances query safety and maintainability compared to Knex and Drizzle.
- Kysely's SQL-like query construction, combined with strict typing, offers a clear advantage in developing scalable applications.
- Embracing type-safe query building with Kysely provides control over database interactions and robust type validation for high-performance applications.
