Drizzle Joins PlanetScale

Well yeah… why else would the company have bought them? It wasn’t because they just love ORMs and this one specifically they just wanted to make sure survived because they happened to be using it. It doesn’t work like that.

You can mostly just skip past whatever vague platitudes the announcement post makes toward stuff like this and instead just watch the product closely over the next few months to figure out how it’s gonna go. Trusting anything said in the announcement is a recipe for getting burned later

I use Sequelize at work and have used drizzle for a few personal projects and I can say that I really like the following: - Native TS integration - The migrations system is wonderful - The API is more intuitive, imo. I think it comes down to personal preference to use any/none of these tools, but I liked it enough to donate some space cash to the project.

I don’t use this specific orm but orms in general are trying to solve a very hard problem and as such there are a lot of ways to mess it up. If you can be the least bad at it and create slightly less dumpster fires than everyone else that’s a huge thing

Hey Sam, love your tweets. Have a couple of questions:

- What kind of Drizzle x Planetscale specific integrations can we expect to see?

- Is Drizzle considering expanding from Typescript to other languages like Python? (which has very poor database drivers).

Thanks
