OrchidORM is one of those tools I can't praise enough. It deserves way more exposure, as the author works tirelessly to build likely the best ORM for Node.js there is.

This is not just some query builder, this is the real shit!

Have you used drizzle? Haven’t tried orchid, curious how they compare

If you're curious how they compare, it may be biased coming from the creator of Orchid, but sound objective enough to me:

Wondering more about ergonomics than performance. The point about it being more full featured than drizzle makes sense - I personally prefer the query builder approach, but cool to see more tools like this coming out!

I used probably most ORMs made for Node.js by now, none of which can match this little project.

Drizzle isn't really a proper ORM, more like ORM-lite, or advanced query builder. Can't even do faceted navigation, a la Amazon filtering system without ejecting to raw SQL, which defeats the purpose of having ORM.
