Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

At Databases because you don't need ORM.

Looking for a type safe ORM/mapper
Depending on the complexity of your queries, Prisma might indeed not be the best abstraction for you. If you're proficient in SQL and don't want to sacrifice type-safety, there are really nice, low-level alternatives to Prisma such as Zapatos, Slonik or atdatabases. We're laying this out in our docs here: Should you use Prisma?

Top 10 Node.js Security Best Practices
I built https://www.atdatabases.org to make this as easy as possible to get right when querying SQL databases with node.js

General ORM question - How costly is not using a SELECT ATTRIBUTES clause?
Depends a lot on the size of your database records. We’ve found that for a few tables with big JSONB columns it can make a huge difference but for 90% of queries it makes very little difference. https://www.atdatabases.org with @databases/pg-typed or @databases/mysql-typed also keeps the types in sync with which columns you select.
-
SQL result into variable
Since the method is marked as async, you can use await to get the results of a query (if your database library supports promises. For example with https://www.atdatabases.org as your db library you could do

What are popular ORMs for Node.js?
I found Prisma close but not quite there. That's part of what motivated me to keep working on https://www.atdatabases.org, which I think is already there as an enterprise ready ORM for node.js

what node ORM is worth it to learn
I built https://www.atdatabases.org which has an ORM for node.js, but also supports writing SQL queries in a safe way. It is type safe, and has much simpler & more flexible transaction support than most node.js ORMs.

Can you use Joi with SQL database?
If you’re using TypeScript and don’t have untrusted user data, @databases can generate static types, which can be a good alternative to runtime validation.

How do most people interact with a db these days?
Did either of you consider @databases? It has pretty much the same approach to SQL as Slonik. I’m curious if there’s any reason why Slonik is preferable?

Sneakiest development trap: making easy easier...
And sometimes invest instead in learning a technology rather than hide it: for example slonik encourages you to write normal SQL queries by making SQL templating easier and safer. In turn, your IDE would be able to understand those queries and give you support based on the database schemas you actually have.

Drizzle is just as unready for prime-time as Prisma, what else is there?
I'd push you to consider using postgres, slonik or similar for database queries. With these libraries, you just write SQL, but they perform input sanitization for you. So you can safely write:
- Slonik: PostgreSQL client for Node.js with runtime validation
-
PostgresJs: The Fastest full featured PostgreSQL client for Node.js and Deno
You can already use postgres with Slonik.

It is not going to be the default because it is way slower.

Integrating Slonik with Express.js
For those uninitiated, Slonik is a battle-tested SQL query building and execution library for Node.js. Its primary goal is to allow you to write and compose SQL queries in a safe and convenient way. Now, let's see how it pairs with Express.js.
-
Which Postgres client are you using?
I am the maintainer of Slonik and I am trying to understand what portion of this sub-users are using Slonik vs other libraries, and if they are using anything else – what are their reasons for it.

JEP Draft: String Templates (Final)
It's nice that they implemented string templates essentially exactly the same way Javascript template literals and tag functions work. They even give an example of using it to create a prepared statement (e.g. DB."SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = \{inputParam}") which is exactly what many NodeJS libraries due, e.g. Slonik https://github.com/gajus/slonik, like sql`SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar = ${inputParam}`;
-
We use TypeScript not based on preference, but because we want to make money
I've found libraries like Zod useful when interacting with external data sources like a database. Slonik[1] uses Zod to define the types expected from a SQL query and then performs runtime validation on the data to ensure that the query is yielding the expected type.
I don't think it's necessary to use Zod/runtime validation everywhere, but it's a nice tool to have on hand.

The Epic Stack by Kent C. Dodds
Have you tried Slonik (https://github.com/gajus/slonik)? It won't generate types from queries automatically, but it encourages writing SQL vs. a query builder and allows type annotations of queries with Zod. Query results are validated at runtime to ensure the queries are typed correctly.
