Drizzle ORM: pros & cons
- Very light runtime, good for edge functions
- SQL-like syntax with full type safety
- Migrations you can read
- Younger than established ORMs
- You need to know SQL
- Smaller community and fewer examples
Snyk: pros & cons
- Catches vulnerable dependencies early in the workflow
- Covers code, containers and IaC in one tool
- Fix suggestions rather than only warnings
- False positives need triage time
- Pricing scales quickly with contributors
- Some fixes require major version upgrades
Our verdict on Drizzle ORM
The right choice if you like SQL and want the compiler to check it. Teams wanting abstraction prefer Prisma.
Our verdict on Snyk
Worth it if nobody currently owns dependency security. Budget time for tuning, or the alerts become noise people ignore.
