What is it?

Drizzle ORM is a TypeScript ORM for Node.js, TypeScript and JavaScript projects. It lets you declare SQL schemas in TypeScript and write both SQL-like queries and relational queries, with types inferred from the schema. It is a thin typed layer over SQL rather than a heavy abstraction, and it has no runtime dependencies.

It targets every PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite database, including serverless and edge services such as Turso, Neon, PlanetScale, Cloudflare D1 and Supabase. The project works in Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers and browsers, and does not require a separate data proxy or native binaries.

The companion Drizzle Kit CLI generates SQL migration files or applies schema changes directly to the database. Drizzle Studio provides a UI for browsing and editing data.

Key features

  • 01Declare SQL schemas in TypeScript with inferred types.
  • 02Supports both SQL-like queries and relational queries.
  • 03Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite, including serverless providers.
  • 04Runs across Node.js, Bun, Deno, edge runtimes and browsers.
  • 05Ships with zero dependencies and a small bundle size.
  • 06Drizzle Kit generates and applies migrations.

Use cases

  • Building TypeScript backends that talk to PostgreSQL or MySQL with type-safe queries.
  • Deploying database access to serverless or edge functions such as Cloudflare Workers.
  • Managing schema changes and migrations for SQLite-backed apps.
  • Browsing and editing database contents during development with Drizzle Studio.
