Have you tried Elysia (https://elysiajs.com/)? Admittedly I'm not using it at scale, but it's quite pleasant.

I've written 10s of thousands of lines of Elysia+Kysely and its a match made in heaven

I’m curious about your choice of Kysely. I’ve really only used Drizzle. It’s fine but it has some very rough edges around Bun and SQLite.

I'd rather use SQL than an ORM. Kysely is basically a wrapper for the SQL query syntax inside typescript which has the benefit of composability and incredibly rich typescript support

I checked it out and it looks good on paper but it only runs on Bun.

Don't get me wrong, I use Bun and I'm happy with it, but it's still young. With Hono/Drizzle/Zod I can always switch back to Node or Deno if necessary.

ElysiaJS's blog claims that support for other runtimes was added in 1.2: https://elysiajs.com/blog/elysia-12.html#adapter

Thanks I wasn't aware of this
